Harajuku



On Sunday morning we took the train to Harajuku. It was only a couple of stops West. Harajuku is a funky area where teenagers dress up like manga or video game characters (called Cosplay) and hang out at Yoyogi park to show off their costumes. It's also a big shopping area for fashion. Harajuku station looks like an old fashioned train station. In the picture I'm across the street from it. The other picture was taken at a nearby intersection on Omote-sando Dori, the "paris" of Tokyo, a long tree-lined street with lots of cafes and fancy clothing stores. Unfortunately, you can't see the tree lined street in this photo though. It's a really nice street to walk down. We began the morning by walking down Omote-sando to find a cafe for a light breakfast. After that we walked back up to Yoyogi park.
