That's One Busy Crosswalk

     Every morning bright and early the kids and I head over to Shibuya Station where they catch the bus for school. In the morning, it is quiet with minimal traffic and few people. However, during rush hour and evenings it is the busiest crosswalk in the world.

     No lie! Look it up. Over 2500 people cross this group of crosswalks every time the signal changes making there way to and from the busy train station to a plethoria of shopping and restaurants. It's a sight to behold.
     We brought the kids over at night so they could see how crazy it was. They were a little surprised because it is so quiet in the mornings, maybe 50 people or less.  
The Starbucks behind us has some of the most sought after seating in town. You can enjoy a nice cup of joe and watch the chaos below. Yet another cool thing in Tokyo.
