Some *very* narrow commercial properties here--I like this about Japan, that they opt for density via small footprints before going for density via tall buildings (not that they're the only country that does this, ofc).pic.twitter.com/tjGDtYKnEy

One more before we get into the station plaza...we've already made it to the Fukutoshin Line's Shibuya Station, which is underneath this streetpic.twitter.com/5bTtGuWbkL
And here we are--Shibuya Station itself, the fourth-busiest train station in Japan (and the world). The plaza is in the middle of reconstruction, and isn't much to look at right now...the old Tokyu terminal was moved underground, and new development is going up in its place.pic.twitter.com/pvPV5RqTvt
Our walk covered a distance of 3,660 feet, not even a mile. 15 minutes, at a leisurely pace. And yet in such a small distance--so much variation in landscape! From tiny, quiet streets flanked by houses, gardens, and shops, to towers, traffic, and construction.
You can see the route here--take a look for yourself, and check out other side streets in the area...you'd be amazed how cozy they can be while still being a stone's throw from thriving stations and bustling avenuespic.twitter.com/bsp57L1Jwb
