This is probably the most famous place of Tokyo. Shibuya's crossing, where really huge crowd can be encountered.

Shibuya is a very lively place, with many street vendors. Until last year, it was really crowded by people selling magic mushrooms, but the government decided, a couple of days before the World Cup, that is was really not a good way to present japanese laws on drugs, which were supposed to be very severe - in fact, they are. So now, more usual vendors are observed...

 

Especially before election, it is also a place of predilection for politicians to come and expose their ideas. Or whatever... It is really funny to see thousands of people walking next to the speaker, and really no one looking even a little interested by the speech!
