It was featured in Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-out Attack, Lost In Translation and Gamera 3.
And, on June 1, it will be flashier.
What is it? It's Shibuya Crossing (or Shibuya Scramble).
Rocket News 24 reported:
The Shibuya crossing, also known as the Shibuya scramble, is without a doubt one of the most famous locations in the world. Now the go-to location for establishing shots of Japan when producers aren’t focusing on geisha and picturesque temples, the intersection has been featured in numerous TV shows and movies, and is a must-see for any visitor to Tokyo.
Surrounded by tall buildings, each covered in giant screens and ads vying for pedestrians’ attention, the Scramble is traversed by an incredible 500,000 people each day, with roughly 3,000 pedestrians crossing every time the lights change during peak hours, making it one of the flashiest and most popular places to advertise in Japan.
And now, it’s about to get just a little bit flashier.
From June 1, the Shibuya scramble will be lighting up even more faces with the addition of an enormous LCD screen from Hit Vision.Shibuya Crossing is spotlighted on page 27 of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
