Pros
- I enjoyed this for a free experience, and for watching it above. ... That was so cool, and so 'Japan' and mesmerizing crowd behavior to be a part of.
- I enjoyed this for a free experience, and for watching it above.
Cons
- The first location was of course Shibuya Crossing, and I am afraid to say that it is indeed just a crossing. The hachiko statue was also absolutely packed so I must say I did not enjoy Shibuya all that much
- Shibuya crossing was overrated in my opinion, its just a huge crosswalk
- I'm happy I have seen it but that's all I can say about it. It felt like an attraction for tourists.
- Shibuya crossing - yeah - I don’t get how this is such a must-see. I was in Shibuya in 2004 and walked past - it was neat - added to the busy atmosphere - but literally glanced and kept walking.
- Shibuya Crossing was unnecessary as an attraction, overall ridiculously crowded, with queues everywhere in restaurants.

Shibuya Crossing was also very crowded and not worth going to if you are not already in the area for some other reason.
Also, the crossing sucks.
Shibuya Crossing from the L'Occitane Cafe upstairs. Interesting but not a must-see honestly
