On a Sunday afternoon, I had the opportunity to set foot in Harajuku, Tokyo. JR train stop from the station I crossed the street and get Takeshi Dori, the street which is characteristic of a young Japanese express themselves this.
The first aim is the Harajuku gate. Along the road to the gate, dozens of teenagers Tokyo makeup look with different styles (commonly called “cosplay”, short for costume play), ranging from Gothic to anime. A unique, many tourists also deliberately gothic dress up and perform follow-up along the way. If, I am confident like them!
There is also a ngamen, complete with drums and electric guitars as well as service providers with various models of Japanese calligraphy kanji writing that was held in the middle of the road.
Harajuku gate is the starting point of the path to Meiji Jingu, the shrine of the Meiji period witnessed history. Harajuku area is indeed a marriage of traditional and modern. On the left, in the Yoyogi area featuring traditional elements, while on the right side, modern Harajuku, ranging from building and lifestyle (food, costumes, boutiques, and visitors)
Along the road to the temple, we can see the range of cask of wine which was once the location of wine storage area belongs to the emperor. Log into the existing footpath on the left of the road, we will be dragged into Yoyogi park is beautiful. Satisfied to enjoy the green garden, we went to the Meiji shrine. In this temple, we can convey our wishes on wooden boards (sold for 500 yen). Planks are then hung on a large board in the temple courtyard.
I’m back to Harajuku station to sense the density of roads Takeshi, who is the main attraction Harajuku. It must be recognized by the density of people on this street on a Sunday afternoon is not inferior to the crowd at PRJ Kemayoran. While jostling, I see the clothes and accessories that are sold along the road.
From a distance, in one small way to the Omotesando area of ??luxury boutiques, I saw long lines of people buying takoyaki! Options takoyaki on the menu makes me a bit clumsy, but I finally tried takoyaki sauce mentaiko.
While eating takoyaki, I along Omotesando, an area often called the Champs-Elysees was Tokyo. Behind the luxury shops, seen some of the towering building that is a luxury apartment that was home to many Japanese celebrities. It is said that one of the tall building that is home to the famous Japanese singer, Ayumi Hamasaki.
While looking in the shops along this road is making a fresh eye. But it certainly makes a shopping bag screaming that desperate here. When Nike entered the store, for example. As models of shoes are sold limited model.
I could see the batik motifs sports shoes, which reportedly produced only about three hundred pairs. In Indonesia alone there, uh, actually sold in Japan. I do not dare to find out the price. Afraid not ready mentally.
