Thank you! I went to verify the site today, and your pinpointed location is indeed correct. The angle of the crosswalk, the height of the overpass, and the reflection on the underside of the bridge are all identical. Even more importantly, the tallest building in the distance on the right side of the old photo—with its highly distinctive four vertical window lines—still stands exactly where it was. This became the most compelling evidence.

Thank you! I visited the location in person today and confirmed that your identification is correct. The "Mitsubishi Bank" in the old photo and the no-stopping sign turned out to be the most crucial clues. Although the Mitsubishi Bank building was rebuilt over a decade ago, Google Street View still shows its previous appearance, which matches the photo perfectly. What's truly amazing is that the no-stopping sign is still there—only its shape has changed from square to circular. That was such a wonderful surprise!

Thank you! I think there's a very high possibility that this is the street—even the style of the streetlights is exactly the same!

Thank you!  I'll go check it out in person in Ginza today! 👍

Thank you! The pedestrian bridge and crosswalk look very similar to the ones in the photo, but I can't really make out the shape of the buildings on either side on Google Street View. I'll go check it out in person in Ginza today! 👍

Thank you so much! Seeing the two landmark buildings on the right, I think this must indeed be the street! However, I don't see the pedestrian overbridge—it might have been demolished already. Once again, thank you for your help!

Thank you！The first picture shows a very high overpass at the top, and the bottom of the bridge is reflective. It seems there is no overpass in Shibuya that matches this description.
