How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The busy hub of the game, where you change trains every day, shop on Central Street and first fall into the Metaverse at the crossing outside the station.
The real place
Shibuya Scramble Crossing, in front of Shibuya Station's Hachikō exit, is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world, with traffic stopping in every direction at once. The fan wiki notes that several shops in the game's Shibuya are based on real Japanese stores.
Visiting
Watch the crossing from above at the Shibuya Sky deck or the windows of the station buildings, then walk down it yourself. The Hachikō statue is by the station exit.
