A crosswalk doesn't seem like a place people "visit," but as many as 2,500 people cross the street every single time the light changes at Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan, City Clock reports.

The cool part, however, is that traffic completely stops to allow people pedestrians to cross from all sides of the intersection, according to Time. One Japanese website went as far as to call the crossing Tokyo's best attraction because of it's proximity to shopping and the amazing photos people take of the area.
