I was staying in a hotel just round the corner and my body clock was still not in sync with Japan time.
So I woke up at like 5am and just walked around shibuya, saw all the salarymen who hadn't made it home from the night before just passed out drunk on the streets. Litter everywhere from a chaotic Thursday night of drinking. Weirdly it still wasn't absolutely silent? Somehow there were still tourists floating about looking lost.
Tlthen there was a strange magic overlap where at like 6.30 suddenly thousands of people came out from Shibuya station, all the businessmen and women going to work, and a full army of street sweepers appeared and cleaned all the streets away, police woke up and moved on the wasted salarymen, and by 7 it was bustling and the crossing was full of people.
One of my strongest memories of my time over in Japan. Seeing this side of the city most never see .
