Harajuku Part Two!

There will be quite a few Harajuku posts coming up in the next few days. This is the first big set of photos. We arrived at the train station and decided to head straight to Yoyogi Park, where all of the Harajuku kids hang out. I had just assumed that there would be Harajuku kids and people hanging out in the park but Yoyogi Park is huge! They actually only hang out in front of the park where the bridge is. Anyways, we ended up walking through the park with the masses of people. We were trying to figure out where everyone was going. I know what you are thinking as you are reading this! I really didn't do very much research for this train station! I knew that we would head to H & M, Tokyo Apartment Cafe and Harajuku but that was about it. After a long walk into the park, we discovered that everyone was heading to a huge shrine. We were told to go on a Sunday because that is the only time when the Harajuku kids show up. That was why it was so busy!! After we figured out that there wasn't a whole lot to see in the park, we decided to stop for some food at this food court area. Turns out that it was a huge open air food court/market. We had some delicious hot wine and each got something from a different stand. It was crowded full of happy people enjoying their day off in the park with their families and friends. I have included a picture below. After this, we headed out of the park and on to H & M and the shopping district of Harajuku. To be continued..

Trees on the walk to Yoyogi Park. There were thousands of people walking along this path. It was quite magical.
