By 東京の街を歩く
This video offers an immersive 4K60 walking tour through Shibuya on a bustling Saturday night, filmed around 10 PM. Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s most iconic entertainment and shopping districts, famous for its lively atmosphere, neon lights, and youth culture. In recent years, late-night street drinking has become increasingly common, especially near the Shibuya Scramble Crossing (スクランブル交差点), transforming the area into a hotspot of nightlife activity.
Viewers are taken on a walk through busy streets filled with both locals and tourists, where impromptu gatherings and open-air socializing reflect a unique part of urban Japanese culture. The video demonstrates how public drinking has affected the personality of the district. Shibuya’s dynamic nature is on full display, with live performances by bands, promotional activity from idols, and a general energetic vibe. The area around the famous Hachiko Statue (ハチ公), a beloved meeting spot in front of Shibuya Station, is highlighted as a lively center of activity.
Shibuya is not just about nightlife—it’s a symbol of Tokyo’s evolving relationship with public space, modern youth expression, and the challenges of city governance. The scenes captured in the video showcase the real and sometimes chaotic nightlife of this vibrant ward, making it an essential reference for visitors interested in Tokyo’s after-dark side. For those planning to visit, Shibuya is conveniently accessed by multiple JR and Tokyo Metro lines, with the neighborhood remaining busy well past midnight, especially on weekends.
