Sightseeing spots
(1) Shibuya Scramble Crossing

The scramble crossing is famous for the busiest crossing in the world. It’s amazing to see hundreds of people crossing the intersection without bumping into each other. Near it, there is the Hachiko statue, a symbol of the faithful Akita dog who waited for his moster at Shibuya station every day, even after his death. Based on the story, the Hollywood movie “Hachi; A Dog’s Tale” was created. Richard Gere acted.

(2) Meiji-jingu Shrine

It is the largest Shinto shrine in Tokyo. The shrine buildings were constructed in the traditional style. Those buildings are in a large forest. Many old trees in the forest add the sacred atmosphere. If lucky, you can see a wedding ceremony. (Admission free)
