After taking in the skyline, head down to street level and experience the chaos of Shibuya Scramble Crossing. You can either watch the hundreds of people scramble across as the lights change, or stand back and take it all in. It’s one of those “only in Tokyo” moments. For a great photo, pop into one of the nearby buildings with a view.

Next, it’s time to switch things up with a bit of adrenaline. Because OF COURSE you already have your international license. So head on down, hop into a go-kart with Akiba Kart Shibuya and cruise the streets like a local celebrity! You can dress up in some super fun costume and weave your way past some of Tokyo’s most iconic sights. Be warned, you WILL be popular. You'll have people waving and snapping photos of you as you go.
