Harajuku Station and Takeshita Street

Tokyo Kanto Summer Daytime History & Heritage

About This Video

Harajuku is by far one of the most famous districts in Tokyo when it comes to youth fashion and Japanese subculture. While the main point of interest here is the 500m long Takeshita Street and its many trendy shops, used closed stores, fashion boutiques and small Japanese crepe stands and other fast food restaurants. Harajuku Station is also, thanks to its unique architecture one the area’s main point of interest.

However, like many things in Tokyo, this cute little station will soon be turned into pieces to make place to a new soulless station in order to accommodate more people for the upcoming 2020 Olympics.
