Shibuya Late Night, Tokyo 2016

I had Harajuku high on my todo list, so we tried to go there next, but like Akihabara it's a daytime area. We were only there for a minute- resolved to go back the next day, but Andrew did introduce me to their crepe ice cream. I'm not a big fan of crepes as a rule, but these had ice cream inside and were amazing.

Harajuku is in Shibuya but Shibuya is a pretty big ward so we took the train over to the part near the famous Shibuya Crossing. The crossing is famous because it's a huge "pedestrian scramble" or  "diagonal crossing." All car traffic stops and all pedestrians cross the intersection in every direction at the same time.

Crossing at the crossing- the excitement!

Shibuya is like Shinjuku in that it's a really fun area at night full of bars and bright lights. We went to Tasuichi combines a Japanese-style standing bar with an American sports bar. After that we went to a pub and made friends with some Americans from San Antonio. Hi Alana and Will!
