It was a very fun experience although all it is, is a road crossing. You just wait at the red light until the green light shows then cross the road within the time limit before the lights turn red again. Just like any other road crossing. This crossing however is a different experience all together. The fact that its made popular by tv, movies and anime makes this spot iconic and very popular with tourists both local and world-wide. Watching others crossing is also a fun experience. Some go to and fro many times as did we capturing it all on their mobile devices. Some even pose on the ground and get their shots, which was very funny to see. There's a great spot at Starbucks on a first floor of a building overlooking the crossing, but you need to buy their products to sit and view it. My family and I really enjoyed the experience. The whole time we were there we were either laughing or smiling and that's precious. Although it's just a crossing it is definitely a must see and a must experience in while your stay in Tokyo.

Even after seeing photos of it for years, standing in the middle of it was something else.

Visiting Shibuya Crossing was interesting, but personally, I found it a bit overrated. Yes, it’s definitely very crowded and iconic as one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. We passed through both during the day and at night since it was on our way, so we got to see both sides of it. One thing that is truly impressive, though, is the way people move in sync. When the lights change, hundreds of people start walking at the same time from all directions, yet everything flows surprisingly smoothly. That sense of order within the chaos is actually quite fascinating to watch. That said, while it’s worth seeing once, I don’t think it’s something to spend too much time on. Some people seem to stay for hours, but for us, it felt like a quick “see and move on” kind of place. Tip: Walk through it once for the experience, maybe take a quick photo, and continue exploring the city. An iconic spot, interesting for a short visit, especially for the synchronized crowd movement.

Unbelievable. If you want to see masses of people making their way across an intersection, this is it. And, must be one of the largest groups of stores anywhere in the world. If you visit, go up to the observation deck in the building overlooking the square. 360 degree views of the city and a great spot to see the crossing.
