Itinerary - Districts


There are of course more districts in Tokyo, but these are where I'll probably be spending a majority of my time :)


 Harajuku -

"Every Sunday, young people dressed in a variety of styles including gothic lolitavisual kei, and decora, as well as cosplayers spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many. Most young people gather on Jingu Bridge, which is a pedestrian bridge that connects Harajuku to the neighboring Meiji Shrine area."

Akihabara -
"Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods."
Shibuya - 

"This area is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area. Shibuya is famous for its scramble crossing. It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. The statue of Hachikō, a dog, between the station and the intersection, is a common meeting place and almost always crowded."
