• Takeshita Street

    March 29, 2024 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    It took us twenty minutes to get on the right train to Harajuku. Once we arrived, we split up again. Purva and the elders went to a vegan place where they ended up having their best meal in Japan. They were super stoked. Divya, Nishu and I took a walk and inadvertently ended up on the super crowded Takeshita Street, which was full of places selling toys and sugary food. We had some cakes shaped like pandas, and strawberries and grapes coated in crystallised sugar, and finally some tea to neutralise all the sugar. We also went inside a capsule toy shop where I ended up getting a Mario watch (which didn’t work yet, probably because it needed batteries). When the rest of the group finished their meal, we brought them to the entrance of the street so that they could witness the madness of the street too. We clicked some pictures at the entrance which had a camera and a small rectangular screen reflecting the people standing in front of the entrance. We set off towards Shibuya from there.Read more
