Shibuya City (Tokyo)
Static map displayed.
Shibuya is the Tokyo ward of the Scramble Crossing, Harajuku, and Meiji Jingu. I spent the morning of September 9, 2024, there. I started outside Shibuya Station at the statue of Hachiko, the dog who went on meeting his master’s train for nearly ten years after the man died, and crossed the Scramble with the morning crowd. From there, I walked up through Harajuku to Meiji Jingu, the shrine to the Emperor Meiji, in a forest planted with trees given from all over Japan. In the afternoon, I went across the city to the sumo in Ryogoku.
