This is where i work

Whenever you see a shot of Tokyo in a movie, it's more than likely to be a shot of Shibuya & the famous Hachiko Crossing. On an average day about 2.4 million people pass through the train station. Making it the 3rd busiest in Tokyo. By night Hachiko Square is such a vibrant place with the buzz from huge crowds, sights & sounds coming from the giant displays and the flashings from all the neon lighting.

In my opinion it is the coolest part of Tokyo. It is something of a youth centre with countless clothes stores, izakayas (Japanese style bars), nightclubs & karaoke joints. The place is buzzing all day & night, especially on the weekends. The area outside the train station is one of the best for people watching; there are many different breeds of people passing through to observe such as tourists, nampa guys (sleeze industry guys), school girls, fashionistas, ganguro & yamanbas (rebellious teenagers who wear crazy clothes & face paint), street performers, musicians and of course drunk salarymen.

There are still areas of Shibuya I haven't discovered. On the weekend I found a crazy website which gave me directions for a used panty store. They buy & sell used underwear & school uniforms at a premium price. The more expensive ones come with a photo of the girl, but when I went people were just going through the bargain basket of underwear from unknown origins.

I'm quite lucky to be working right where everything is happening. Basically it is the hub for all of my activities. You can see it featured prominently in Lost in Translation, Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift & Jackass: the Movie.
