Tokyo (CNN) — Often referred to as the world's busiest crosswalk, thousands of pedestrians scramble across Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing daily.
The Shibuya Crossing serves as center-stage for a Times Square-inspired New Year's Eve countdown, and is the focal point for the wild Halloween celebrations that have grown increasingly famous in recent years.
Along with Shinjuku Station, the district's Shibuya Station bears the honor of being one of the world's busiest train stations.
By far the most popular place to snap photos is shopping mall Magnet by Shibuya 109's 7th-floor viewing platform.
But the best place to connect to the spirit of the Shibuya Crossing is the street itself.
