SHIBUYA TOKYO JAPAN/ The wonderer of Japan #TOKYO'S NO.1 TOURIST SPOTS # JAPAN TOUR 2022

Shibuya is arguably the youth heart and soul of the city, and unmissable if you’re visiting the Tokyo area. With world-famous sights including the iconic scramble crossing, this area is a must-see for nightlife and trendy youth culture.

Shibuya (渋谷区 Shibuya-ku) is a special ward in Tokyo, Japan. As a major commercial and finance center, it houses two of the busiest railway stations in the world, Shinjuku Station (southern half) and Shibuya Station.

As of April 1, 2022, it has an estimated population of 228,906 and a population density of 15,149.30 people per km2 (39,263.4/sq mi). The total area is 15.11 km2 (5.83 sq mi).

The name “Shibuya” is also used to refer to the shopping district which surrounds Shibuya Station. This area is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area.

Shibuya Crossing is often featured in movies and television shows which take place in Tokyo, such as Lost in Translation,[6] The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and Resident Evil: Afterlife, as well as on domestic and international news broadcasts. The iconic video screen featured in the above movies, in particular Lost in Translation with its ‘walking dinosaur’ scene, was taken down for a period of time and replaced with static advertising, although it resumed operation in July 2013.[7]

Contemporary British painter Carl Randall (who spent 10 years living in Tokyo as an artist) depicted the area in his large artwork ‘Shibuya’, exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London 2013.[8][9][10] Scramble Crossing is a major location in the video game The World Ends With You and its sequel, which is set entirely in the neighbourhood of Shibuya.[citation needed]

The incredible story of Hachikō, the loyal dog who waited almost ten years for his master’s return.
Because of his remarkable loyalty, Hachikō is a national hero in Japan – and in our hearts. Hundreds of people flock to his statue every day at Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo, to capture a photo with the beloved Akita and bask in his pure and loving light.

Hachiko is a dog 🐕 of the Akita breed that belonged to a Tokyo university professor in the 1920’s.

Born in 1923, he would walk his master Hidesaburo Ueno everyday to Shibuya Station and wait for his return there every evening. In May 1925, the professor died of apoplexy at his workplace. Hachiko waited for him faithfully every evening at the station for the next decade until his own death.
