I think of it as a tourist attraction, as there are generally more tourists there than cosplayers and people dressing up. I think of Harajuku street, ABC mart, the McDonald's cafe, and the nearby Shakey's pizza place.
I also think of middle-aged Japanese rockabillies drinking mugi cha (barley tea) from Jack Daniels bottles as they dance shirtless to American 50's rock music, only taking breaks to comb their duck-tail styled hair.
And I think (when I go there) that I would have better spent my time in some other place, like at the beach, in the mountains, or in the old shita-machi parts of the city where the old Japan still exists.
