The Shibuya Scramble Crossing handles up to 3,000 pedestrians per signal change, and crossing it is a rite of passage for every visitor to Tokyo. The adjacent Shibuya Sky observation deck, atop the 47-storey Scramble Square tower, offers an open-air 360-degree panorama taking in Mount Fuji on clear days, Tokyo Bay, and the neon sprawl of the city in all directions. The rooftop platform sits at 229 metres and is one of Tokyo's most dramatic viewpoints, particularly at sunset and after dark. The combination of street-level energy and aerial perspective captures Tokyo's unique scale.
