Seibu-Shinjuku Station Live Cam – Pepe Plaza Intersection, Tokyo

This 24-hour live camera shows the busy intersection in front of the Pepe plaza at Seibu-Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, overlooked by the large Unicus Vision screens. It is one of the liveliest crossroads in Shinjuku, the ward that is home to the world's busiest railway station and some of the city's most famous shopping and nightlife districts.

The stream captures the sounds of the city as much as the sights: crowds of pedestrians, the rumble of trains, the jingles of giant video screens and the melodies that play at crossings to help visually impaired pedestrians. Watching it from home gives a strangely calming sense of Tokyo's energy, a very different feeling from being in the middle of it.

Things to look out for

• Waves of pedestrians when the signals change
• Taxis, buses and delivery vans weaving through the streets
• Neon and screen lights after dark

Seibu-Shinjuku Station is the Tokyo terminus of the Seibu Shinjuku Line, and the Kabukicho entertainment district lies just next door. Rush hours and weekend evenings are the busiest times. Comments are welcome, and the stream doubles as a place for viewers to exchange information.
