One of Tokyo’s most famous locations, Shibuya Crossing, a scramble crossing, is located just in front of Shibuya Station and a few step away from the Statue of Hachiko*. Shibuya Crossing has been made famous not only by its atypical crossing but also by its giants TV Screens, many advertising signs and youth fashion stores. Compared by many to New York’s Times Square, Shibuya Crossing has been seen in many foreign movies around the world and quickly became a number one tourist curiosity in Japan.
*Hachiko was an Akita dog that died in 1935. He is celebrated and remembered for his loyalty to his owner even after the owner died. For an additional 10 years, Hachiko continued his ritual of walking to Shibuya Station and waiting for his beloved owner to return.

Très probablement une des premières images que vous avez vu de Tokyo, le fameux passage piéton de Shibuya fait face à la station Shibuya, et se trouve à quelques mètres de la statue de Hachiko*.
La réputation du Shibuya Crossing n’est pas seulement due au fait qu’il permette à une population dense de traverser au beau milieu d’un carrefour de boulevards, mais aussi pour ses écrans géants, ses nombreux panneaux publicitaires, et ses magasins branchés.
Comparé par pas mal de personnes au Times Squares de New York, le Shibuya Crossing est présent dans de nombreux films étrangers du monde entier, et est ainsi devenu la plus grande curiosité touristique au Japon.
*Hachiko était un chien de race Akita mort en 1935. Il est ainsi célébré et honoré pour sa loyauté envers son maître, loyaute hors du commun qu’il a su montrer même après le décès de ce dernier. En effet, pendant les 10 années qui suivent sa mort, Hachiko attendait quotidiennement le retour de son maître à la station de Shibuya.
