Shibuya Crossing is interesting as well as amusing.
It is said that about 2,500 people cross this junction at one time, and 250,000 – 500,000 everyday.
Most people cross it just to cross it. Not exactly because they need to, but just to be part of it or simply to experience the craze.
When the lights turn red…
Every car in every different direction stops and every pedestrian starts walking.
People just … whoosh … fan out.
It’s so amusing to see it, especially with people waving their cellphones around.
Crazy how famous a crosswalk can be. Definitely a sight to see.
Last Call …
That tells you… people from different walks of life can all collide at the same time. 😉

The Sophomore Slump 
2,500 pople at one time? whoa –
and I have said this before – but so glad to connect again dear sophomore slump….
also – love the line about how diverse people “can collide at the same time”
The exact same thought that I was thinking as I was crossing it right there and there. It made me feel good about the cruel world we live in.
😉
Total mayhem, I wouldn’t like it at all!
Ahhh… I like crowd from time to time. 🙂
After seeing this, I think I want to go back to the Hike ha! Great photos Rommel. 🙂
Good thing I have travel varieties. 😀
I love your titles for the recent posts 🙂 Pedestrians pedestrians … cats cats. Everything’s everywhere! Lots of them indeed!
I have a bit of posts from the past that are like that. I think I might do, some time in the future, a collection post of my “community” posts. 😉
That’s one crazy busy crossing! 😯
It is one crazy busy area, and city! 😯
Did you take the last two photos from the Starbucks overlooking the crossing? Your post really captures how it feels to cross with so many people.
You know it! 😀
Been there. Know this. 🙂 Hey, Rommel, while your stationed in my old stomping grounds, if interested check out my former ‘hood – Minami Aoyama in Minato-ku. Omote Sando was my subway and Aoyama Dori was my daily walk home. Your greats shots make me long for those days, even crazy Shibuya. In my absence, enjoy them buddy.
I found something interesting to see there. Thanks for the head’s up!
That crossing reminded me of one in Auckland, NZ and I did join the fun of crossing with the people.
Which one is it. I tried to search it on the web, but it is showing me different result from other countries. I want to see. 🙂 Do you have a post for it?
Oh blimey Rommel that’s just too much humanity for me!:) Amazing shots though.
It looks like their version of Times Square.
