No
longer an official district, Harajuku popularly refers to the
area from Meiji Shrine to Omote Sandô, extending to Aoyama
Avenue. Over the years the Harajuku-Aoyama area has become a fashion
center, ranging from women's haute-couture on Omote Sandô
(sometimes called Tokyo's Champs-Elysées) to name brand
teenage chic of Takeshita Street to the self-styled street fashion
of young exhibitionists in Yoyogi Park. The two red dots on the
left will lead you to some of this scene, while the other three
will give you a peek at some of the fashion and club action in
Harajuku's neighboring districts.
