The trains we’d been on in our previous and also this visit to Tokyo had gone by the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing several times before, but we’d not until today actually been at the crossing. It’s indeed quite an organised chaos of pedestrians walking in every direction they wish as soon as the green pedestrian lights come on. Lots of people while briskly walking through the crossing are also taking pictures, selfies and videos – while all at the same time trying not to collide with everyone else! Quite an experience, and out of necessity as we were also heading to the nearby Tower Records for the daughter to look for a K-Pop album and also because it’s just fun, we did the crossing several times. Yep, cheap thrill but it was exhilarating!
We continued walking towards Yogogi Park in the late afternoon to catch the Shibuya Blue Cave Winter Illumination light-up.
That’s a wrap for Day 06. We’re headed to Mt. Takao tomorrow, that’d be quite possibly another several posts covering different parts of the area!
