Harajuku Tokyo Japan

Harajuku Tokyo Japan

1 min read

Harajuku, though fascinating for most, has never been my scene. The first time I visited Harajuku was during my first Japan trip. I went with my two best friends, mainly because one of them really wanted to visit it.

Stepping inside Harajuku feels like stepping inside another Japan. A theme park, inside a theme park, inside the ultimate theme park, Japan. Japan is layered like that.

Though I am not a fan, and as overwhelming as it is, Harajuku has many things to offer. From high-end sneakers, rainbow toasties, unusual fashion styles, Luke Lobsters, the best ramen shop in Tokyo,  hedgehog cafe, and other things.

Update: Funnily enough, to claim I am not into it, I have been to Harajuku every time I visit Japan. I went back the second time to find a funky cafe, but I failed to do so. The third time was to introduce Fafa to Harajuku. On my fourth Japan visit, I got myself a super cool jeans jacket from it. And the last two times, we had the same reason to visit Harajuku, it’s where Fafa hunted for his limited-edition-cheaper-in-Japan sneakers.
