From Shinagawa Station board a JR Yamanote Line train to Harajuku Station. (14 mins)
Visit the Ota Memorial Museum of Art (10:30-17:00/JPY700~) which is a three minute walk from the Omotesando Exit of the station. The Ota Memorial Museum of Art is home to the collection of 12,000 pieces of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints collected by the late Seizo Ota V, former president of the Toho Insurance Company and keen enthusiast of Ukiyo-e, or 'pictures of the floating world'.
A short walk from the museum is Takeshita-dori Street, the lively pedestrian street which prides itself as the font of new teenage Tokyo street fashion. Explore the side alleys off Takeshita-dori for a variety of tasty treats.

The large park, spanning over 144 acres, is a blend of formal garden, landscape garden and Japanese traditional garden.
