So, today will be a unique experience that you can only find in Japan.

1.  Harajuku


We will head over to Harajuku which is the main tourist hangout.  You can find all of your snack places here and lots of kawaii cute things on sale.   We will visit Kiddyland too which is the giant toy store.  The giant 100 yen store called Daiso is here too.

2.  Cat Street


There are lots of clothing shops on Cat street, this is the connector street between Harajuku and Omotesando.




3. Omotesando Hills

When we make our way to Omotesando, this is where the Line Friends store is.  BTW there's lots of places to eat,  like the Shakey's Pizza buffet.   The Japanese pizza is different than anything you can get in Canada.   Omotesando Hills mall has lots of shops like Laduree.




4.  Shibuya


Later, we can visit Shibuya and see the scramble crossing.  There's also lots of shopping and eating there.  We can have dinner here.

There's also NHK Studio Park.

5.  Return to Shinjuku




Sun Aug 13

Due to special request, we will return to Harajuku today.

1.  Yoyogi Park


Before we do that we will visit Yoyogi Park, the Meiji Shrine and if we are lucky see the Rockibilly Dancers practising their moves.  It is not too far from Shinjuku Southern Terrace to walk to Yoyogi Park, however you can take the train to Harajuku and you can enter Yoyogi Park from here too.

In Meiji Shrine, sometimes you can see Japanese wedding processions happening.

We can either walk to Yoyogi park or take the train.  If taking the train, we get off at Harajuku station.



2.  Harajuku

Back to Harajuku, maybe do more shopping at 100 yen store Daiso, or have some ice cream crepes.



3.  Shinjuku

Return to Shinjuku to go shopping at Uniqlo, BIC Camera, Takeshimaya.   We can walk back if not too hot, or take the train back from Harajuku.
