Takeshita Dōri
Tourist attraction

"I’ll walk over to Harajuku. It's like its own complete culture there — whatever the style happens to be that year, everybody's dressed in it. I just appreciate the completeness and the commitment to the culture. Walk down Takeshita Dōri and soak it in because that's the center of current culture."
