Kaiju fans are familiar with Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. The district has been featured in a number of giant monster movies, most notably in Gamera 3 (1999) and Godzilla x Megaguirus (2000).
The above photo was taken by yours truly in April 2007.
Have you ever wondered what Shibuya looked like in prior years?
Culture Japan at DannyChoo.com has some vintage photos of Shibuya Crossing. It is interesting to see what the district looked like back then (he has some from 1952) in comparison to now.
To see the photos, go here. There's some gadgets that will show where the present buildings are on the old photos.
