I've never heard anyone say "I pass through the town on my way to work"; I've only heard "I go through the town on my way to work". Not to cause confusion (too late), I would say that in common speech pass means so many different things e.g., pass the chicken, the bill was passed, he ate beans and passed a lot of gas ;) The classic American usage is: "Howdy, partner. "Are you from around here?" "Nope. I'm just passing through". So to me, "passing through" means one could be hanging around a place for a few days. Like the river that passes under the bridge. Or the clouds that pass overhead. Clouds don't go overhead, they pass overhead, yet they may be floating over your house all day, before they "go away". Good Luck!

Hi Mami, you can say both, and both actually mean pretty much the same thing. If I were forced to make a difference, I would say that "go through" sounds more like you have the intent to traverse Shibuya on the way to work (That is, you specifically choose to go through Shibuya). On the other hand, "pass through" sounds more like you just happen to traverse Shibuya in order to get to work. But this difference is very slight.

Either is fine. There is a minor difference. go through = focus on "through". "Go" is too abstract to have focus pass through = focus on "pass" Example: you have a friend in Shibuya and you say: "I'm on my way to the office. I'll be passing through SY though. Wanna meet for coffee?" "Going" wold sound too week.

Both are correct and natural, though 'pass' sounds better to me. Go through - the action is described as an anticipated or planned action. Because the tense you used is everyday, it is correct - each day, to get to work and plan to go through the town on the way. Pass through - the action is more timeless / tense less. There is no anticipation or planning. each day i go to work, my route takes me through the town (i pass through)
