Description

We start our walk from the Hachiko dog.
Observing Shibuya Crossing from the Inokashira Line bridge, we compare the Shibuya of today with that of the 19th century.
Retracing Shibuya Creek, we visit Inari Shrine and Hachiman Shrine.
You'll meet the people who brought Shibuya to life, including the dog Hachiko, a young medieval samurai, the Shogun's nanny and more.
Finally, looking out over the crossroads from the 11th floor, you'll get a sense of Shibuya as a whole, made up of distinct neighborhoods.
While avoiding the crowds, you'll have the keys to understanding and fully enjoying this amazing Shibiuya Valley!

Intéressant pour comprendre ce hub et son origine

Visite centrée sur cet endroit mythique : on apprend son origine et on voit le sanctuaire qui lui est associé. Intéressant mais si l’Histoire n’y est dense.
