For the Virgin traveller in Japan, Harajuku is one of those 'must see' places on the Japan tourist circuit. Without a doubt the most famous street of Harajuku's is Takeshita. It is highly doubtful that you will see such a place back home - taking into consideration that I am orginally from a place of 3,000 people and sheep outnumber humans by 1000:1 it holds especially true for me.
So who are these infamous Harajuku Girls?
Harajuku gyaru (girl) is the phrase most commonly used to identify girls who hang around Tokyo's Harajuku district. And of the many varied sites, definitely some of the more eye-catching are the lithe figures of the girls that flank the streets there. A word of warning though, "All that glitters is not gold" and all that looks like a girl is often not either.
