About this place
The Shibuya Scramble Crossing is the junction right outside the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station, where all traffic stops at once and pedestrians cross in every direction, up to around 3,000 people on a busy green phase. It has been a scramble crossing since 1973.
This is a road junction, not a destination you can stop at: there is nowhere to park or pull over at the crossing itself, and the streets around it are packed with pedestrians at almost any hour. Use the mapcode to find the area, then set your navigation to a paid car park a few streets away and walk back.

This site covers 167 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot and the restaurant you booked need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Shibuya Scramble Crossing?
- The mapcode is 549 673*08, pointing at a spot in 東京都. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 35.659495, 139.700498. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
