Tokyo tourists can now show their faces on a giant screen at a busy intersection.
Shibuya's Scramble Crossing will soon allow tourists to display their selfies on a giant video screen for a fee.
Listen up! If you haven't grabbed a selfie at Shibuya's Scramble Crossing, did you really even go to Tokyo? Well get ready, because soon those pics won't just be for your phone gallery; they’ll be flashing live on one of the biggest video screens in town! This new service, called Shibuya Scramble Crossing Photo, will let tourists see their faces on Q's Eye, right across from the intersection. It had a short test run recently—imagine 48 lucky folks having their pictures shown for 15 seconds, complete with an adorable Hachiko illustration around their mug!
Now, while this isn't just for foreigners, they're the main audience. And boy, the feedback is pouring in! They want options—different frames, music, even personalized messages on-screen! Pricing is expected to be around 5,000 to 10,000 yen, with the official launch coming in March next year. But hold up, the locals are getting a bit twitchy about the extra tourist traffic. They say it’s turning into a circus out there. So while this is gonna be a blast for travelers, let's hope it doesn’t lead to pure chaos on the scramble!
