Living in Harajuku

A neighborhood that is a global source of fashion and youth culture and where surprisingly quiet residential streets coexist around Meiji Jingu and Yoyogi Park. It is also a transport hub, 3 minutes to Shibuya and 4 minutes to Shinjuku. However, the Takeshita Street area is a weekend tourist crowd spot, so rents are high and you must be ready for noise and crowds, and the near absence of supermarkets for daily grocery shopping close to the station is a clear weakness for actual residents.

It is the center of fashion and youth culture in Shibuya Ward, served by the JR Yamanote Line and the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda and Fukutoshin lines. Takeshita Street, Omotesando and Yoyogi Park come together, offering both trends and greenery. Many tourists make it constantly crowded, and the housing stock itself is small. With Shibuya one stop away and overwhelming culture and shopping infrastructure, it appeals to young people and creatives who want to enjoy energy and trends as part of daily life.
