Traveller tips

Know before you go

Visit after 8 PM Friday for peak crossing chaos under neon—arrive early to claim a Starbucks window seat.
Use Shibuya Station's Hachiko Exit; other exits dump you blocks away from the scramble.
Download offline maps—cellular data congestion spikes during evening rush and weekends.
Combine with Harajuku (one stop north) and Shinjuku (two stops west) for a full district day.
