I am slightly sad that the Shibuya Crossing area is changing so quickly, but change is the norm in Tokyo, and thankfully it is still relatively easy to find everyday buildings and commercial premises going back half a century or more. Of course, I am also looking forward to seeing what the view from up there is like. /posts/202212-shibuyacrossing/ Tue, 17 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /posts/202212-shibuyacrossing/ Shibuya scramble crossing on a bright and sunny December day in 2022. /posts/shibuya-in-the-rain/ Thu, 26 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /posts/shibuya-in-the-rain/ The night time city is always aglow with its endless neon (or more likely LED) lights, but when it rains the streets are covered with rivers of reflected lights that are quite otherworldly. The Shibuya Scramble Crossing is always a special place to be, but at night in a quiet warm rain with my combini umbrella there are few other places I would rather be. /posts/hachiko/ Sat, 27 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /posts/hachiko/ The statue of the loyal dog, Hachiko, is probably the busiest meeting place in Tokyo. Outside Shibuya Station and next to the Scramble Crossing it is almost always heaving with locals waiting for friends and tourists posing for photos and touching his paw to ensure their wish to return to Tokyo is fulfilled. This photograph was taken on a rare occasion when the area was fenced off for a ceremony.
