From Harajuku, we took a train down to Shibuya, the famed shopping and entertainment district within Tokyo metropolitan. At the heart of Shibuya(above) - prominent landmark of Shibuya is the large intersection in front of the station Hachiko exit, which is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens and gets crossed by amazingly large crowds of pedestrians(below) each time the traffic light turns green. We had to rush to take this shot as you can see swarms of pedestrians departing across the traffic crossings behind Gayle.

(Above) Inside Shibuya 109, shopping. It's like an upscale upmarket Far East Plaza. Clothes are ridculously priced with a mini skirt ranging between $100 -$250SGD.Similar clothing can be found at Ikekuburo at 1/3 the price for similar design and quality.
(Above) Spoilt for choices for dinner. You just can't resist the window displays of food.
(Above) We went back to Harajuku street to soak in the shopping atmosphere. Crowds of Japanese schoolgirls tend to congregate around the streets and shop.
