Jingu Bridge, a meeting and socializing place of Harajuku girls----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our 5th day in Tokyo, Thursday, Feb. 19, 2009
Harajuku is popularly known for younger crowds that dress in a variety of unique styles such as gothic lolita, visual kei, and cosplay. A lot of visitors come here every Sunday to see these young people walking around the streets with their "harajuku styles." We missed Harajuku on Sunday and we didn't get to see a lot of Harajuku teenagers. It was an ordinary weekday and so few people were dressed up and not too many people along Jingu Bridge where Harajuku teenagers are socializing.
The term "Harajuku Girls" has been used by English-language to describe teenagers dressed in any fashion or unique style who are in the area of Harajuku.
The pictures above were taken in Takeshita Street, it is a narrow street that has a lot of small stores selling different types of unique dresses that caters for youth fashions.

Wow, that is so cool! Thanks for all the information, would love to see some of these Harajuku girls someday! I wonder why they dress up like that. Maybe just to express, I guess?
I looove those uniforms! Oh if only it's the same like that in the Philippines!
Looking forward to more of your photos!
Thanks halfcrazy for visiting my site. I guess you're right harajuku teenagers just want to express themselves in a different way. But there's always history behind that :-)
Yeah, why didn't you tried asking them? :P

halfcrazy- I didn't try to ask them bcoz....I can't speak Japanese hahaha and they can't understand english
joy- thanks for dropping by :-)
the place is so clean. who would not love it? beautiful japan.
Ah well, I figured that not a lot of "Hapon" can speak English. Which makes me very proud that our country, the Philippines, is probably the best English speaking country in the Southeast. Maybe all of Asia! :P
Cool ng cosplay no? I remember once while strolling around Akihabara I saw some cosplay dude who was covered with winnie the pooh accessories. He even had winnie the pooh ears and tigger's buntot. Natakot ako, baka psycho eh. he was like... over 40 yrs old na kase. And he looked at me funny.
Garando- you should have taken a picture of that cosplay with winnie the pooh costume hehehe
