This is Shibuya, one of the biggest cities in Tokyo.When the light turns green at the intersection, all the people start walking from everywhere. It’s so strange how everybody doesn’t bump into each other.
Trains are also very crowded.
The worst times are in the mornings and evenings during rush hours.This video on YouTube is popular overseas. Why don’t you take a look?

What did you think about it?
It’s not always as bad as this, but I often see people pushing and shoving. It looks so funny when you are watching people being packed in but it’s awful when you are one of them.
Can you believe it?
Japanese people usually don’t like to get physically close, particularly with strangers, but when it comes to crowded trains, they get close to each other.
