Have you ever been to Shibuya and seen Shibuya scramble crossing? This crossing is very famous as like a landmark of Tokyo. There are many people crossing this street everyday.


One blogger or writer on the web researched how many people walking across this crossing.

How many people do you think crossing this street???

There are lots of people crossing scramble crossing. But I thought there were like 500 people crossing. The writer of this article says that he knows it is meaningless. But it is new for me and for you guys also, right? :)
