Harajuku

A few earlier, I went to Harajuku and immensely enjoyed the sights it had to offer.

I had thought that Shibuya was the hub of Japan`s teen culture and so was surprised to find that Harajuku`s teen fashion outclassed what I had seen in Shibuya. The shops are more trendy, more funky looking and of the course, the teens there look are a lot more like rock starts and punk musicians than school or university students (thank God I stay in Tsukuba :) ). Even the Shibuya teens looked started looking respectable after seeing the teens of Harajuku.

If you really want to see the best of what Harajuku has to offer, I suggest you get off at Harajuku station and walk south towards towards Shibuya. Its only about 15-20 mins by foot and you get to see everything what Harajuku has to offer.

Here are some sights of Harajuku.
