The Shibuya Scramble Crossing, located northwest of JR Shibuya Station, is known as the "world's busiest intersection" and is also known as the "world's most famous intersection," making it a popular tourist spot that represents Shibuya. When the light turns green, more than 1,000 people can cross at once, creating a spectacular sight that is typical of the big city of Tokyo.

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 taking photos in Shibuya. However, since it is a place where many people gather, please be careful not to get in the way of other people crossing the street when taking photos.

Hachiko Statue

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

Hachiko became a symbol of loyalty by waiting for his master every day for nine years, even after his master died of illness. This world-famous bronze statue of a dog has become a popular photo spot in Shibuya, with movies based on Hachiko being made both in Japan and overseas.

During the day, there are long lines of people wanting to take photos with the Hachiko statue, and it's also a famous meeting spot, so if you want to take a leisurely photo with the statue, we recommend going early in the morning.

There are many ways to enjoy yourself here, such as going on a shopping date at a variety of stores selling fashion and miscellaneous goods, or relaxing on the lawn with a cup of coffee, and there are also many photo spots.

Among them, the restaurant district "Shibuya Yokocho" is a place where you can feel the old Japan with shop curtains and lanterns displayed in front of the shops, and it is a perfect place for taking photos. Taking photos and having a drink with your partner here will also be a good memory of Japan.

Dogenzakashita

" Dogenzakashita " is located where "Dogenzaka" and "Bunkamura-dori" intersect.

The area is right next to the Shibuya 109 fashion building, known as a mecca for teenagers, and just a short walk from the scramble crossing, making it the heart of Shibuya. It is packed with a variety of stores, including restaurants, drugstores, and fashion stores, so you can take photos in Shibuya's bright and lively atmosphere no matter what time you visit.

By turning off the main street and onto a smaller alley, you can capture photos with a tranquil atmosphere that contrasts with the bustling cityscape in the background.

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 overpass 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 a popular photo spot.

In particular, if you take photos from the Miyashita No. 1 Pedestrian Bridge that connects to Miyashita Park, you can take city-like photos with the straight Meiji Street and the buildings on both sides of it in the background. It's a good idea to visit Miyashita Park as well.

Sakuragaokacho

Sakuragaokacho is an area south of the traffic light at the West Exit of Shibuya Station, where you can see rows of cherry blossom trees in spring. The road is narrow, so the numerous cherry trees create a tunnel of cherry blossoms, 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 can almost forget you're in the big city of Shibuya, and it has 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 take a stroll 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 Shibuya's iconic monuments, such as the Hachiko statue and the Moai statue, and at the end of the street is the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, so be sure to include this spot in your Shibuya photography route.

Yoyogi park

Yoyogi Park is located in the middle of the city near the station, but it is a place where you can enjoy a date while feeling nature. It is especially recommended during the cherry blossom season in spring and the autumn foliage season, when you can enjoy a date surrounded by beautiful scenery.

It's easily accessible and the site area is quite large, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll or picnic.
