Pictures below were taken at Shibuya Scramble in Shibuya on December 4, 2022.
Shibuya scramble on a Sunday night. Packed, as always. No matter which way you turn. This is were Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus find Jadeite and youma in the middle of the crosswalk.
Try to picture this completely empty of people.
A giant group of people waiting to cross the street.
Another large group over here.
Close up of the first group.
So many people. Crossing Shibuya. I didn't realize how turning my phone after starting the video was a bad idea. I will remember for next time.
If you would've asked me what my safe space is like... A month ago, I probably would've said something like this one really secluded mountain in northern Wales of that castle ruin on Llyn Peninsula. And now for about 3 weeks the answer is: Shibuya Scramble Crossing. I mean... What happened? How did I exchange nature and literally zero people for a Metropole with millions of people? Shinjuku and Shibuya. That's what happened. It has to do with the anonymity of the crowds I think...

Day 4 - Japan Blog - 10 February 2024
Tattoo and Shibuya
Today I am getting a Godzilla tattoo from an artist in Nakano, Tokyo at a studio called Artemis Tattoo. I am feeling WRECKED from being sick -- I was scared it might be COVID because I have a gnarly sore throat... What a good time to relax? Getting stabbed!? Haha!
We caught the train out there which was only like, 20 mins? Ben just walked around and explored while I got my tattoo. My artist's name is Mangesh and he was from India and has a Japanese wife and child here. It was nice to talk to someone in Japan who is from a different culture again. Fun times!
After my tattoo, Ben took me to all the places he had found on his adventure. We got Mexican for lunch at a place called XX where the owner lived in the US for a while. He was chatty and lovely, the food was pretty good. Then we went to a cute "french" styled bakery which was ... SO CUTE... and we got some treats for tonight.
We caught the train back to Toyko, main area and it was time to explore Shibuya. I wanted to check out the new Shibuya Sky Building but that was booked out for an event. We managed to find a place to watch the crossing without having to pay (or book) but they werent happy about it haha! OOOPS!
Now, its time to get some food. Taylor Swift was touring this week so it was Swifty crazy. Every shop was playing TS and it was fucking annoying. You cant avoid it!! We wandered upon a Yakitori Grill Restaurant which let us upstairs (in the smoking area, which didnt bother me, but it did bother some other aussies... pussies) and we had some pretty good value food. Better than the previous night for SURE! Ben is currently obsessed with Japanese Potato Salad.
We are heading towards the Nintendo Store and Pokemon Centre at the PARCO shopping mall. Which is an amazing place to be honest -- we got there a bit late so we had to rush. But I managed to grab some cute shit from both stores before we had to leave... I could have been in there for another hour or so at least. HEHE!
Im still feeling pretty trash, so back to the hotel for a bath and an early night.
