I went there with friends on the weekend a couple months ago and there were so many people. We start walking with the crowd along the main street and before we know it we end up on the the other end of the street. Me and my friends look at each other and go "Welp...I guess that's Harajuku" and left. 😂

Cakes with Faces yeah I know I live in shinjuku but my favourite AC/DC rag is one hidden up one of the side streets, I am a bit saddened though as Korean beauty brands are starting to take over Takesha street and it’s really losing its cool vibe. We tend to shop in the vintage shops on the other side of the road down we’re the funky clock is. I just feel like it’s lost so much in such a short space of time. Yet a can go to kankano broadway and it never changes. Even if I just go to see how many people drop there 12 flavour ice cream. It’s just a good place to visit
@cakeswithfaces

@@dottieland7061 Haha, I've never even attempted one of those ice creams! The cleaners must hate them! :-) I've noticed Harajuku's changed a lot too, it's got a lot more touristy and there are so many rainbow snacks. My theory is that tourists want to look around but not buy the clothes, but they will spend money on cute snacks. So as time goes on there are more and more snacks and less of the interesting fashion. Although I did enjoy exploring Shimokitazawa last time, that had a cool vibe too.

In general the sizes are a little smaller, especially for things like fitted dresses and skirts. However in Harajuku lots of items are one size (they call it free size), which can fit quite a range of sizes. eg the the hoodies I've bought would fit a few sizes up from me, and my friend who's a larger size has bought dresses there too.

Traditionally people visit shrines and temples on New Years Day so that would be a special experience you wouldn't be able to have the rest of the year. Maybe you could find an osecchi ryori - the fancy bentos people have as a new years meal? Shops and museums might be closed, but if there's any kind of countryside adventure or walking you'd like to do, that wouldn't be affected.
