Tokyo Harajuku | Center of Teenage Pop Culture

There is more to Harajuku than just teenage culture and shopping. Harajuku is the center of Japan's most extreme cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sites. The Meiji Shrine, one of Tokyo's major shrines, is just west of the railway tracks from Harajuku station. Next to the shrine is the lovely Yoyogi Park, a spacious public park to relax and enjoy nature. There's also the Ota Memorial Museum of Art that displays stunning ukiyo-e paintings and other works of art. Desserts & Snacks in Harajuku: "Recommended Desserts & Restaurants"
