Shibuya intersection
Harajuku Station
Government Metropolitan Building, Shinjuku
From Shinagawa Station board a JR Yamanote Line train to Shibuya Station. (12 mins)
At Shibuya Station, exit via Hachiko-Guchi Exit for the famous Shibuya crossing. Enjoy a light refreshment at the Starbucks across the road and sit and one of their window seats that overlook the bustling pedestrian crossing. Shibuya is an area popular among young people and rich in cinemas, cafes, restaurants, department stores, fashion-store buildings and boutiques.
From Shibuya Station it is only one stop north to Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line.
Exit via the Omotesando Exit for Yoyogi Park - where Tokyo's talented sub-culture meets and performs. Regular acts include Elvis impersonators, magicians, dancers and rock bands.
For lunch, explore the selection in the side alleys off Takeshita Dori - the lively street that leads out from Harajuku Station (Takeshita Exit) and which prides itself as the font of new teenage Tokyo street fashion. Bargain hunters will enjoy a visit to 'Daiso' to delight in what you can buy for only 100 yen!
Running almost parallel to Takeshita Dori is Omotesando, a long street lined with international boutique brands.
From Harajuku Station, board a JR Yamanote Line train two stops north to Shinjuku Station - the busiest train station in Japan! Take time to explore some of the great shopping that surrounds the station. A walk to Takashimaya Times Square and an exploration of a shop called Tokyu Hands which sells a range of unique gadgets is recommended.
