What you are looking at
TV Asahi's ANN news channel streams this camera over Shibuya Scramble Crossing in Tokyo, one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Every time the lights change, traffic stops in all directions and crowds pour across from every corner at once, including diagonally, between the big screens and shop fronts outside Shibuya Station.
The rhythm of the day is easy to follow. Mornings bring commuters, afternoons fill with shoppers and visitors, and the crossing glows with giant video screens after dark. Rain turns the scene into a sea of umbrellas. Big events change everything, from crowds on New Year's Eve to Halloween, when the area has seen heavy crowds and the city has tried to discourage street gatherings. In the very early morning, when the trains stop, the crossing can look almost empty.
The feed plays as live video on YouTube. Tokyo is on Japan Standard Time, 13 or 14 hours ahead of the US East Coast, with no daylight saving time. A practical tip: watch for a few light cycles in a row. The crossing empties and fills in about a minute, and seeing it repeat is the best part of this view.
