Getting there
At Shibuya Station, follow signs for Hachikō (ハチ公) and the outdoor square. A large station complex has exits on several blocks, so save the exit name if you are meeting someone. Stay near the plaza to see the crossing at street level.
Admission
Crossing and watching from the street are free. If you want an elevated view, check the rules for the specific venue. Shibuya Sky is a separate ticketed rooftop visit that you should plan around its own entry slot.
What to see
Watch the full sequence from the corner before crossing. Look for the Hachikō meeting point, then walk a few streets away for shops and cafés.
Plan your visit
- Watch one full signal cycle from the pavement, then cross with the pedestrian light. Avoid stopping in the crossing itself.
- For an evening visit, pair the crossing with dinner around Center Gai. Save your hotel’s station exit and check your last train before dinner.
