Harajuku

Harajuku is well-known for being the source of Japanese youth culture. It is filled with stores of goods, accessories and clothing! It is also known as the birthplace of crepes and pancakes in Japan. It is fun to window shop while you walk and nibble on some crepes! There are two sides to Harajuku: a pop and colorful side full of young people dressed in various unique styles, and the Meiji-Jingu (shrine) side, where you can experience the distinctive Japanese culture with a sublime and ceremonious aura.
