I’ve been to the Harajuku-Shibuya area many times but for some reason had never visited Yoyogi Park. I was really surprised at its size and also the sheer number of Tokyoites squeezed in to this place on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

There’s always plenty going on along the famous Takeshita-dori in Harajuku, Tokyo. An endless sea of people flood the narrow streets with everyone from lost 70-year-old American tourists to Nigerian salesmen through to the most eclectically dressed Japanese twenty-somethings. Everyone is there for the same reason – it is a truly unique experience. Make sure you drop by on your next trip to Tokyo ^^

I love the contrast in this shot with the bright blue in the background and her pink and ginger hair and costume. The little figurine hanging from her nail helps too – what a great look.

If you’ve been through my photo gallery here at zonjineko.com before, then you’ll know this area of Tokyo is one of my favourite spots to photograph. There is no area quite like this in the world and you never know what you’re going to see from one weekend to the next. This girl was wandering around the area outside of Harajuku Station – the hair and makeup plus the amazing piercings really made for a great image.

Another shot from my Harajuku gallery but this time a little darker than most. The overcast day also helped to add an eerie atmosphere to this image – one of my favourites. Enjoy ^_^

I shot this a little while ago and thought it might interest anyone wanting to see the area around Takeshita-dori, JR Harajuku Station as well as Jingu Bridge where you’ll find the cosplay girls (and boys) every weekend. Unfortunately it was an average day weather-wise so there wasn’t a lot to see on Jingu Bridge but you still get a sense of the area and there will be some surprises left for you if you ever get to Tokyo ^_^

I shot this in the area around JR Harajuku station on a busy Sunday. These contact lenses still freak me out. I wonder what they look like from the inside out?

A touch of 19th century England fused with 21st century Harajuku coolness lights up Takeshita-dori (竹下通り) – one of my favourites.

I’m not sure what this lady was doing exactly but she walked along and then squatted down for about 10 minutes on the busy Jingu Bridge near Harajuku Station before moving on. Resting? Heart palpitations? Or old lady weirdness perhaps?
- Japan Images: Saturday on Takeshita

May 6th, 2010
A typical Saturday morning along the insanely crowded Takeshita-dori (竹下通り) in Harajuku, Tokyo. While it’s has been done to death, I always enjoy this particular view as I remember the cameraman in the top left hand corner trying several times to climb on the back of his friend to get a photo, only to be knocked off by the endless crowd of shoppers.
