Shibuya Crossing

Shibuya Crossing is said to be the busiest crossing in the world.  The crossing is next to Shiibuya Station.  When the lights turn red at the intersection, they turn red in all directions and people cross in all directions creating “The scramble”.  With video three-story video screens surrounding the area and people crossing in all directions, it feels chaotic.

We made the crossing and went to pay homage to Hachiko.  The story goes that Hachiko would go down to station to wait for his master to return from work every day.  His master died but he still returned to Shibuya Station each and everyday until he died.   They made a movie called Hachi:A Dog’s tale.
