They remodeled the Starbucks since you took this. You can get better views now from bars and the big hyaku en store that are just off the screen to the right.
Tokyo is sooo much better than LA! In LA you have to sit in traffic to do ANYTHiNG; while Tokyo is crowded the city works like a well oiled machine. You can walk anywhere here, and it takes the train the same time to get from point A to B during rush hour or not!
Shibuyaaaaaaaaa ! I was there this january, trying to take good pictures while my girlfriend was crossing this intersection. God, i nearly lost her in the crowd...
I took some shots of the cosplay kids, dressed up in their costumes at the Meiji Bridge in Harajuku on a bright Sunday morning. You can check out my flickr set here: http://tinyurl.com/lufdj
I really did love it over there, you're right! And yes, this was far from the busiest the crossing got - rush hour on Friday was mad.
thamks for sharing the photots at flicker! Some really amazing shotyou got of the big, bright and beautiful city from the bttom to the top a sky scraper. I like the city shots, but even the back alley stuff I findunquie and fun to look at. Thw wedding party, wow, beautiful!! The arcades from the hi-tech toilet ... and those CUTE Japanese girls. I'll have to sign =up there sometime! thanks!!!
Ahhh I miss Japan so much! Once I was crossing that exact, well crossing, some dude with help from his friends, took his whole drum set into the middle of the crossing and played a solo, and they picked everything up right before the lights turned green :)

Tokyo is a such a great city, and very pedestrian-friendly.

Aaaah! My aunt farm broke!!!
Seems like everyone who goes to Japan loves it. Its been a dream of mine since I was young.
I justrecently saw a special about Shibuya on Sundays, with younger people in their costumes etc.
The footage looks like a lot of people ...but somhow, I don't think this is even its busiest.
