Harajuku (2015)
Evening peeps! It's Friday, first day of the long weekend. I am back here to blog about my recent visit to Harajuku. This is my third time in Harajuku. Nothing much has changed so far, I believed? Except that, now there is this new Line store around.
Harajuku is the another popular shopping district in Tokyo. It is conveniently connected by the famous Yamanote line (山手線). It's not difficult to navigate around Harajuku if you wanted to go shopping. Once exited from the station, cross over the other side. During this trip, I visited Meiji Shrine (明治神宮) and Yoyogi park (代々木公園). It's my first time to both of the attractions.
Meiji Shrine (明治神宮) has this very huge gate at the entrance, welcoming me as I explore around the area. The walking trail to the shrine is pretty long, I must say? There is this resting area inside the park, I did not went in there though. There is this area where you will see sake barrels on both side of the trail. IMO, it's pretty cool and definitely worth taking photos.

Then, I landed foot on the popular Yoyogi park (代々木公園) right after my visit at Meiji Shrine. The park is filled with people, people are having picnic, drinking and eating while enjoying the cherry blossom. This park is pretty big and quite spacious.

Many first on this trip, I also visited the rooftop Starbucks at the popular Tokyu Plaza. The view from the rooftop was pretty awesome. I had a drink and took some photos here before I left. The best part about this Starbucks, free wifi! No need password or anything what's not. :)

This trip, I take it slow and everything was pleasant to me. I enjoyed my trip and I think this is one of the must-visit area in Tokyo. Other than shopping, foods are pretty much the same. The usual ramen, don and udon etc;. But coming here, the most attractive snack will be the fresh fried Calbee potatoes chips and the popular crepes from Marion.
