I learned to never let people dictate rendez-vous points at landmarks or stations if I can.
It never makes sense. If it's a landmark or sizeable train/bus station there must be a cafe or a park with notable features nearby. If it's in the middle of nowhere there will be a bench at an easy to describe place.
Telling people to stand in wide and potentially crowded areas for a significant amount of time if they dare coming early is just cruel.
PS: for people using Hachiko as a meeting place, there's a Starbucks right the other side of the crosswalk dammit.
- Klonoar 3y agoThe Tsutaya building that closed for renovations…? I don’t believe that Starbucks is currently an option due to that. Hachiko is a small enough area that’s pretty much proven to work and is a location that any confused tourist can get pointed to easily enough - and signs inside Shibuya station will literally label it.

- numpad0 3y agoWhy don't people choose somewhere random and empty, so that your counter-party is the only humanoid within 100 feet radius? I'm aware it's because that feels weird, but it should make more technical sense than knowingly going into mosh pits when you're just meeting someone.
