As seen from Starbucks, Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is the world's single busiest pedestrian crossing, about 2500 people at a time. The intersection is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens. What makes Shibuya Crossing so busy is Hachiko Exit of Shibuya Station. Shibuya Station hosts a major hub for shinkansen (bullet trains) and the beginning and end of two subways. Shibuya Station handles about 2 million people daily, the third busiest transportation hub in Tokyo. Shibuya is one of 23 city wards in Tokyo, but often refers to just the popular shopping and entertainment area found around Shibuya Station. Shibuya is a center for youth fashion and culture, the birthplace to many of Japan's fashion and entertainment trends. The Tokyo urban area is home to over 38 million people.
