This is Fashion- Harajuku

I'm not sure if many people heard of Harajuku(原宿).

In Tokyo, it's a place where you could see fashionistas dressing up in all kinds of garments, walking confidently on the street. You could never judge whether the style was fashionable, even when someone dresses in absolute absurdity, it's the latest trend in town. You can never beat the Japanese on this fact:p

There is an ever renowned street known as Takeshita Doori (竹下通り)at Harajuku. The entrance is right in front of the train station. Basically, it's crowded all the time, you could find almost anything you could name in fashion. The trendiest clothing, the most stylish accessories, the most fashionable apparels. At the same time, you could observe how the youngsters dress on the street, it's even more precious than those tips offered in fashion magazines, because all of them have their own ways of styles and you would be surprised how they are born naturally good in taste.

Apart from clothing, yummy mouthwatering foods are available in every corner of Takeshita Doori, from fast food such as MacDonald to Japanese cuisines, snacks, ice creams, waffles. You could enjoy your every step of walk while savoring all the goodness in the scrumptious Japanese foods.
After a walk on Takeshita doori, you're gonna enter another side of how luxury is defined, Omotesandou (表参道). Here, it's a boulevard of lavishness, some the branded brands come in one whole block of building instead of just one unit in the shopping centres.

Besides, there is a 3-level toy stall known as Kiddy Land there. From Hello Kitty to Winnie the pool, Snoopy, Stitch, Totoro etc, the lovely toys and puffy dolls and key holders and accessories of these cute cartoons would make all boys and girls scream their lungs out. The goods sold in Kiddy Land are just too irresistible for everyone, no matter which stage of age you're in.
