Stop 1
The Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is arguably the world's busiest pedestrian intersection, famous for its "scramble" style where traffic stops in all directions to allow thousands of pedestrians to cross simultaneously from every angle. This mesmerizing dance of humanity, surrounded by towering neon billboards and bustling department stores, embodies the vibrant energy and futuristic spirit of modern Tokyo, making it an iconic and unforgettable sight

Stop 2
The Hachiko statue, located outside Shibuya Station in Tokyo, is a bronze tribute to an Akita dog famous for his extraordinary loyalty. Hachiko would faithfully wait at the station every day for his owner, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno, to return from work. After the professor's sudden death in 1925, Hachiko continued this routine for nearly ten years, returning to the same spot daily, hoping his beloved master would appear. This poignant display of devotion made him a national symbol of fidelity in Japan, and his statue is now a popular meeting point and a powerful reminder of unwavering love
