Today we had a one-day tour of Harajuku.
It is November 3, Culture Day, a national holiday.
Meiji Shrine
Until World War II, it was celebrated as the birthday of Emperor Meiji, but after the war, it became a day to enjoy various cultures such as art, music, and martial arts as Culture Day.
November is also the time of Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three years old Festival), and many cute children dressed in kimono are walking around.
The chrysanthemum exhibition is not still in full bloom, looking forward to seeing them in full bloom around mid-November.
There are many ’ BONKEI’ ( miniature scenery) and very cute !!
Today, there was also an ikebana Japanese flower arrangement display.
I took everyone to the lawn area behind the main shrine to see the people of Tokyo relaxing.
Takeshita Street
Then we went to the opposite side of the street, the bustling Takeshita street.
It is always a bustling street with a lot of people.
Many people were also eating colorful cotton candy.
Togo Shrine
One minute down Takeshita street and you will find the incredibly quiet Togo Shrine.
There were many huge colorful carp in the pond.
Bribe and groom were taking memory photos in the shrine
Design Festa
Next, we went to a gallery called Design Festa, located on a street south of Takeshita street area, called Uraharajuku.( back alley of Harajuku)
There are many small rooms here, and artists rent each room for a week to exhibit and sell their works.
It is very valuable to be able to hear directly from the artists.
Afterwards, we had a late lunch at a cafe with a beautiful view in Omotesando.
Thank you for your time!
Shall we do to tour next time?
I’m Nobu, one heart enjoy together!!!
