Shibuya Half-Day Walk: Crossing to Nonbei Yokocho
Tokyo, Japan
About This Activity
Start at the iconic Hachiko statue and photograph the Shibuya Scramble Crossing from street level or the Starbucks overlooking it. Walk down Center Gai for a pulse on Tokyo street fashion, then find the narrow Nonbei Yokocho (Drunkard's Alley) with its dozen tiny bars carved under a railway overpass. Combine with the Shibuya Sky observation deck (separate ticket, ¥2,200) for panoramic views.
Seasonal note: Year-round; crossing busiest at dusk on weekdays
