Shibuya Crossing 渋谷スクランブル交差点
The five diagonal crossings have been there since 1973, when the Parco department store opened.
Shibuya's scramble crossing: five diagonal crossings under the giant screens. The crowds and the signs make it the reference background for any series set in Tokyo.
Tokyo
Shibuya
Your Name.
It appears in the final sequence, where Taki and Mitsuha, now adults, pass each other in the middle of the city without recognising each other.
Jujutsu Kaisen
It appears several times in the Shibuya Incident arc: photo location surveys identify it in episodes 31, 41 and 42. In episode 39 it is the background Megumi lands on after being hurled away by Toji, and the Glico giant screen inside the crossing is also drawn in the shot: you find it again by walking across the stripes under the Keiō Inokashira Line bridge.
Tokyo Revengers
It is the place of the commemorative photo with which the Tokyo Manji-kai celebrates its founding, in chapter 42 of volume five: the founding members pose in the middle of the crossing, in tokkōfuku. It belongs to the same founding moment in which they buy the omamori at Numabukuro Hikawa Shrine, also on the map.
Cosmic Princess Kaguya!
It does not appear in the film but in the music video for ‘ray’, the theme song: the shot is of the crossing on the Starbucks side, with Yachiyo smiling. The same video also includes the Kōshin-dō in Shimokitazawa and the torii of Kusushi Shrine on the summit of Fuji, both on the map.
Oshi no Ko
The crossing and the QFRONT tower open the first episode. Within the same handful of metres are the payphone in front of the FamilyMart on Kōen-dōri and the Starbucks on the second floor of SHIBUYA TSUTAYA, where Ichigo Production discovers Ai.
Death Note
In the first minutes of the first episode Light Yagami walks across the crossing on his way home from school. In the same sequence you can recognise the 109 giant screen and Shibuya Station.
