This is Tokyo distilled into a single intersection. When the lights change, over a thousand people surge from every direction, somehow weaving past each other with the nonchalant agility of a school of fish. The full spectacle hits at night, when the giant screens paint the crowd in shifting neon. Stand on the upper floors of the surrounding buildings for the classic aerial shot, or wade into the current yourself and let the city pulse through you. It's the most photographed crosswalk on earth, and it earns every frame.
