Harajuku is a fashion district, characterized by the pop culture of consumerism. Takeshita-dori is the colorful main street through the large windows where you can see the most famous hair stylists create improbable and bizarre hairstyles. Harajuku is Meiji-Jingu - Gyoen overall eponymous one of the most beautiful Shinto shrine in Tokyo. Weekends are held traditional weddings where the bride and groom and guests wearing beautiful kimono. The wooded park was once an imperial garden, the lake with water lilies and the beautiful bloom of purple irises make this oasis underground paradise.
Meiji-jingu connected to Omote-sando, the designer shopping street, through Jingu-bashi, a bridge / meeting point of cosplay-zoku , the popular phenomenon known as Harajuku. This is a and spontaneous collective event involving teenage girls who are not socially integrated express their feeling through membership in various subcultures characterized by a very creative fashion. It can be a fan of visual-ke the , bands from the flashy look, or the souls cartoons. In this case, the nurses are to be imitated superhero with bloodshot eyes (and there are special stores that sell contact lenses) or vamp in black with blond curls and Victorian crinolines ( the Goth-loli) but you can be postmodern geisha kimono wearing high wedges revisited.
Some are real urban celebrities, every weekend you can see them and photograph them. A Jingu-bashi tourists flock and they are there to be immortalized, a bit sullen, perhaps expected, but proud of their diversity.
