Omotesandō is one of the most pleasant (and most expensive) neighborhoods in Tokyo. It’s a major luxury shopping destination (along with Ginza); it’s also home to some of the most amazing examples of human-scale modern architecture that you’ll find anywhere in the world.The Harajuku Bridge (原宿の橋) (sometimes called Jingu Bashi, JinguBashi, or the Harajuku Cosplay Bridge) is a bridge that runs over the train tracks near Harajuku Station in Tokyo, Japan.

Harajuku Bridge is famous because it has long been a weekend hangout spot for the Japanese girls (and a few guys) who are involved in Harajuku's unique fashion scene.Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is a shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park make up a large forested area within the densely built-up city and offer walking paths for a relaxing stroll away from the concrete.Situated in the heart of Harajuku, it is made for window shopping. Cutesy clothes overflow from shopfronts and gaggles of school kids meet up to devour sweet street food. Hard to imagine? Take a virtual wander using this guide and see what piques your interest.This Tokyo landmark sells animated character goods.
