Scramble crossing

The scramble crossing northwest of JR Shibuya Station is said to be both the "world's most famous intersection" and the "world's busiest intersection," and is a tourist spot that represents Shibuya. When the light turns green, more than 1,000 people come and go at a time, a spectacular sight typical of Tokyo.

It is a place where you can truly experience Shibuya, which is one of the most crowded and crowded cities in Japan, and is an indispensable spot for city photography in Shibuya.

Shibuya Scramble Crossing

Hachiko statue

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

Hachiko became a symbol of loyalty because he continued to wait for his master at the same place every day for nine years even after his master died of illness. This dog statue is famous both domestically and internationally, and a movie was made based on Hachiko, and it is also a popular photo spot in Shibuya.

Hachiko is also used as a meeting spot, so if you want to take a calm photo with the Hachiko statue, we recommend going early in the morning. It might be a good idea to go during the day and take photos of Shibuya's daily life.

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

Dogen Sakashita

" Dogenzaka-shita " is located right near the scramble intersection, where "Dogenzaka" and "Bunkamura-dori" intersect.

The fashion building "SHIBUYA 109", which is said to be a sacred place for teenagers, is right next to it, and it is an area that can be called the center of Shibuya. It is crowded with various stores such as restaurants, drug stores, fashion stores, and has a bright and lively atmosphere in Shibuya. You can take pictures of the city.

If you enter a small street from the main street, you can take pictures in a quiet place that contrasts with the bustling cityscape as a background.

Shibuya Center Street

Shibuya Center Gai is a center of youth culture located in front of Shibuya Station across the Shibuya Scramble Crossing.

There are many shops and clubs selling fast fashion and unique fashion, and the chaotic atmosphere is perfect for street photography.

JR line under elevated track

There are several points in Shibuya where you can walk under the JR train tracks. Under the slightly dimly lit elevated tracks, you can take photos that are different from the glittering atmosphere of Shibuya. It's also great that you can take pictures without getting wet even on rainy days.

Even though it is called under the elevated JR line, it looks different depending on the location, so one way to enjoy walking around Shibuya is to walk along the JR tracks and find your favorite photo spot under the elevated railway.

Meiji street

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

In particular, we recommend taking a photo from the Miyashita 1st Pedestrian Bridge, which connects to Miyashita Park, as you can take photos with the straight Meiji-dori Street and the buildings on both sides and behind it in the background.

Miyashita Park is also a popular photo spot, so it's a good idea to visit it at the same time.

organ slope

The street called Organzaka on the north side of Shibuya Station is surrounded by many music stores such as record stores, music equipment stores, live houses, and clubs.

The street has a steep slope, so you can enjoy taking pictures of the city. It's a relatively wide road, so it's easy to take photos. You can also take pictures of the city with a different atmosphere by entering the small streets that extend from Organ Hill, such as Mukoku-dori and SING-dori.

Sakuragaoka Town

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

Despite being very close to Shibuya Station, it has a quiet and calm atmosphere that makes you almost forget you're in Shibuya, giving it a different charm than other photo spots.

There are many attractive photo spots in the surrounding area, such as Shibuya Stream and Miyashita Park, and Sakuragaoka Town is a fun place to take a stroll with your camera, as it combines an urban atmosphere with nature.

Jingu Street

Jingu Street is a street located just west of Shibuya Station, and is surrounded by the station building, skyscrapers, pedestrian bridges, and overpasses over which trains run. It's a place where you can take good photos.

There are famous monuments along the street, such as the Hachiko statue and Moai statue, and there is also a scramble crossing at the end of the street, so it would be a good idea to visit them at the same time.
