Scramble crossing

The Shibuya Scramble Crossing, located northwest of JR Shibuya Station, is known as both the "world's most famous intersection" and the "world's busiest intersection," and is a popular tourist spot that represents Shibuya. When the light turns green, you can see a spectacular, Tokyo-like sight of over 1,000 people passing by at once.

This is a place where you can truly experience the city of Shibuya, one of the most crowded areas in Japan, and is an essential spot for street photography in Shibuya.

Hachiko Statue

The Hachiko Statue is a statue of Hachiko, an Akita dog who waited for his master's return every day at Shibuya Station in the 1920s, and is located near Shibuya Scramble Crossing.

Hachiko became a symbol of loyalty because he continued to wait for his master every day for nine years, even after his master died of illness. This bronze statue of the dog is famous both in Japan and overseas, and has even been made into a movie based on Hachiko, making it one of Shibuya's most famous photo spots.

Hachiko is also used as a meeting spot, so if you want to take a quiet photo with the statue, we recommend going early in the morning. You can also go during the day to take photos capturing everyday life in Shibuya.

2-1 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0043

Dogenzakashita

Located right next to the scramble crossing, Dogenzaka-shita is where Dogenzaka and Bunkamura-dori intersect.

Located right next to the fashion building "SHIBUYA109," which is said to be a mecca for teenagers, this area can be said to be the heart of Shibuya, packed with a variety of stores such as restaurants, drugstores, and fashion stores, allowing you to take street photos that capture the bright and lively atmosphere of Shibuya.

If you turn off the main street into a small alley, you can take photos in a quieter location that contrasts with the bustling cityscape in the background.

Shibuya Center Street

Shibuya Center Street is located in front of Shibuya Station, across from the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, and is the center of youth culture.

There are many shops and clubs selling fast fashion and unique fashion, and the diverse atmosphere makes it perfect for street photography.

Under the JR line

There are several spots in Shibuya where you can walk under the JR train tracks. The slightly dimly lit areas under the tracks allow you to take photos with a different atmosphere than the glittering Shibuya. It's also great that you can take photos without getting wet even on rainy days.

Even though it's under the JR lines, the scenery varies depending on the location, so one way to enjoy walking around Shibuya is to walk along the JR tracks and find your favorite spot to take photos under the tracks.

Meiji Street

Meiji Dori , which runs through various areas such as Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinjuku, is also a popular photo spot.

We especially recommend taking photos from Miyashita No. 1 Pedestrian Bridge, which connects to Miyashita Park, as you can get a shot with the straight Meiji Dori street and the buildings on both sides of it and in the distance in the background.

Miyashita Park is also a popular photo spot, so it's worth visiting both places.

Organ Hill

Organ Hill , a street located north of Shibuya Station, is an area with many music-related stores, including record stores, music equipment stores, live music venues, and clubs.

The street is on a steep slope, so you can take advantage of that to enjoy taking street photos. The road is relatively wide, so it's easy to take photos. You can also take street photos with a different atmosphere by going down the alleys that extend from Organ Hill, such as Mukokusoku-dori Street and SING Street.

Sakuragaokacho

This area is located south of the traffic lights at the West Exit of Shibuya Station, and in spring you can see rows of cherry blossom trees. The road is narrow, so the numerous cherry trees create a pink tunnel, allowing you to walk through the fluttering cherry blossoms.

Even though it's located very close to Shibuya Station, it has such a quiet and calm atmosphere that you'll almost forget you're in Shibuya, giving it a charm that's different from other photo spots.

There are many attractive photo spots in the area, such as Shibuya Stream and Miyashita Park, and Sakuragaoka-cho, where an urban atmosphere blends with nature, is a fun place to stroll around with your camera.

Jingu Street

Jingu-dori is a street located just west of Shibuya Station. It is surrounded by the Shibuya Station building, skyscrapers, pedestrian bridges, and train overpasses, making it a great place to take great photos, whether you use a wide-angle lens to take wide shots or a telephoto lens.

Along the street, there are famous monuments such as the Hachiko statue and the Moai statue, and at the end of the street there is a scramble crossing, so it's worth visiting both.
