Gouka Seishi, Japan Trip 2

On the 15th day in Japan, I wanted to see Harajuku and Shibuya in Tokyo again. I caught the underground train to get to Shibuya.

Some train stations don’t have there name printed in English, so if you don’t know much Japanese I would definitely recommend catching trains from a JR train station as these should be in English.

When I got to Shibuya, I had a look around 109-2, the men’s version of the famous Tokyo fashion center Shibuya 109.

The store had a New Year’s decoration outside it, but inside 109-2 is small and only has a few shops for guy’s and even more for girls? Which disappointed me :( .

I was taken for something to eat at Sweets Paradise, I buffet restaurant where you can indulge on pasta, soup, salad, drinks and a massive selection of desserts for around 1800 yen for everything.

I was so full when I had left Sweets Paradise, so I went straight to Forever 21 an American clothing retailer.

When visiting Shibuya, I said I would visit Shibuya Business Garden, a Twitter follower of mine > @BusinessGardenE. I got a bit lost, but I managed to find the business garden, sadly my “follower” wasn’t there.

I walked back into Shibuya, I always love the views and the skyline of Shibuya.

We decided to walk from Shibuya to Harajuku, I had never done this before and I am glad I was able to. They are closer then I originally thought.

A crossing in Harajuku with Lotteria, from what I noticed, always a busy area.

I arrived at the famous Takeshita-dori street, it was freezing, but busy as always.

This street is always busy, I have only ever seen it quiet, late on a Saturday evening :) .

I met a Canadian in Harajuku using a Canon camera to create some time lapse video for a music video. I really wish I had done a time lapse video of that street, one day.
