  Shibuya Scramble- also known as Shibuya Crossing is an iconic part of Tokyo that everyone has to see if they are in the city! Located across from the famous Hachiko statue lies the busy four-way crossing. This could be the most well-known pedestrian crossing in the world, featured in movies and TV endlessly. While you walk across you can truly feel the energy of Tokyo and Shibuya, take a lot of pictures before the light turns red!

• Hachikō Memorial Statue in Tokyo, Japan

  Hachiko is a statue honoring a dog who is honored for his loyalty. The statue is located right by an entrance to Shibuya Station and directly across from the famous Shibuya crossing. Of course, it is essential to snap a picture with this patient puppy, but I added Hachiko also as it is considered to be one of the main meeting spots for any friends who are meeting up in Shibuya. It is very common to ask people to meet you at Hachiko, and while you are there you will definitely see a lot of people reuniting and catching up. The energy at Hachiko is a vibrant and busy one, and personally, I consider it to be the heart of Shibuya.
