Have never been to Harajuku, but would like to go and live there for at least 2 years.

I think some people are under the impression that:

Harajuku = footpath in Tokyo OR fashion in Tokyo

I want to go to Kyoto more [now- after deciding], because it looks so nice in those holiday magazines... but I definitely want to go to Tokyo to raid the clothes shops without actually buying much considering I need to get it home and the fact I'll already be stuffing my bags full of lychee hi-chew sweets, because I can't get them here and any cheap or nice booze I find... also the fact I'll be trying to budget, because when I'm set loose in the shops I buy everything in site that I take a liking to. Except I guess I won't be coming back with mountains of books like i did from Italy, due to the fact just looking at Japanese sends my head spinning- too difficult for me, I'll just stick to my European languages [o and I don't read much Italian, they sell loads of books in English].
And also to what it's like... I dunno, never been, but seems similar to Birmingham city centre... with all the fashion shops, long roads and like the Harajuku bridge [am I right here?] is kinda like pigeon, because of all the young people that hang out there... I seem to compare everything to Birmingham... but I suppose it is the one city I know really well and it is like this one big shopping place.

Thumbs up I went once - 11-16-2007, 03:27 AM

I went last summer,
IT WAS AWESOME!!!
Serously, there are no words to describe it! There were so many shops, and I thought it would be expensive but most of the places were really cheap! I was out of control! I literally had to be dragged out of shops by my friend, lol. I bought so many different clothes! Mostly dresses and skirts. I even got some lolita stuff! I'd say go whenever you get the chance.


smile a while

Cheap sounds good to me! How cheap do you say? *I'm nearly broke* But it'd be awesome to actually go to Japanese clothes shops and afford to get things. I always though I never would be able to due to expense!

Harajuku is a very interesting place. Went there Spring of this year. People (Nihonjin and Gaijins alike) dress up and just hang out. There are also some who bring CD players and sing their hearts out. The place is intense! It's kinda like a hub for artists of all kind.
