I'm taking a trip to Japan and I want to go to Harajuku District. I hear you go on Sunday to see the cool dresses and fashion. But I really know nothing else about this district, except its exotic fashion. What happens on Sunday in Harajuku District? When they dress up, can i take pictures with them? Can I ask to? I'm really curious..because it looks so cool!

Yes. Yes. Some will be antisocial and not want to take a picture with you, but most are more than happy to pose for or with you. Because of the heat most of them will be under the small bit of shade that's there. The majority (or all?) can be found on the Harajuku bridge, which is very close to the station and Yoyogi Park.

Get a nicely consultant e-e book like Lonely Planet Japan or Fodor's Japan for the comprehensive descriptions. on account which you're no longer any further there that long, I advise going to an area with a lot to confirm and do. do no longer spend too much time on the instructor. My typical cities are Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. in case you will have the means to locate the money for the shinkansen (bullet coach) take an afternoon or 2 in Tokyo, in spite of the undeniable fact that i do no longer evaluate it extremely is appropriate using fact Osaka is adequate of a extensive city and extremely low priced.

Sunday is the day to get dressed up and go to Harajuku. There will be some folks around any day of the week, it's just that Sunday is a holiday.

People gather at the bridge on the Harajuku station of JR line.
Visit Takeshita dori (shopping street) after that.
The green balloon is the bridge and the red is Takeshita dori street.

You have to ask them if they want to have their pictures taken because a lot of them don't want to.
If you want to take their pictures candidly, try taking their pictures from afar (you need a powerful zooming lens with that).
