Map of Harajuku and Yoyogi park, present day

While mature urbanites might stroll the Ginza on Sunday afternoons, youth exhibitionists perform on a stretch of road that cuts across the southern tip of Yoyogi Park from Harajuku Station. With the National Yoyogi Gymnasium as a backdrop, groups of kids--often colorfully costumed in get-ups ranging from sock-hop to hip-hop--sing, dance, skate, or simply pose with attitude (see PopSite 6). In the opposite direction, the narrow street opening from the north end of the station is the epicenter of hip boutique name brand fashion. Check out the crowds in both spots with well-placed clicks.
