Life in Japan is so orderly that one almost forgets the sheer density at play. However, a trip to Shibuya crossing is a jaw-dropping example that the number of people moving this is city is simply staggering. When the traffic light halts the cars, pedestrians can cross the street in any direction, including diagonally. During rush hour, 2,500 people will do the “scramble”.
