Harajuku, Tokyo

One of the most interesting places to visit in Tokyo, Japan is Harajuku.

I visited this section of Tokyo twice (2001 and 2007). Harajuku is Tokyo's best shopping destination for alternative, punk and Goth fashion. If you are traveling to Tokyo with teenage daughters, Harajuku would be THE place to take them

According to Japaneselifestyle.com:

Harajuku is famous for its fashion, but it is also famous for Tokyo's most popular shine, Meiji Jingu shrine, one of the most significant parks in Tokyo, Yoyogi Park and its sporting venue, Yoyogi National Gymnasium. Harajuku is located in central Tokyo within the special ward of Shibuya.

Harajuku is famous for its Harajuku Girls and Harajuku fashion and is a popular shopping. Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Girls" spotlighted the area.
