Nodes in this cluster

  • Meiji Jingū — Enter at opening from the Harajuku gate; 45 minutes on gravel paths; the gates close at sunset, which moves every month.
  • Shibuya Crossing — Cross it once, then watch it from above for five minutes; it is a spectacle of timing, best after dark.
  • Takeshita-dōri — A 350 m youth-fashion lane: a quick weekday-morning look after Meiji Jingū; skip it on weekend afternoons.
