Summer in Tokyo is so hot and humid!
Here in Harajuku it’s especially hot!
Today, take a tour of Takeshita Street in Harajuku, a popular town for young people, and Togo Shrine, a place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city!
Takeshita-dori is filled with cute and unique fashions and delicious crepes. And next to it is the prestigious Togo Shrine. We hope you will find this contrast of Tokyo’s cultural complexity and interest
Takeshita Street
The center of Harajuku’s youth culture is Takeshita-Street and its side streets, which are lined with numerous trendy stores, fashion boutiques, vintage clothing stores, crepe shops, and fast food restaurants for the fashion and fashion-conscious youth.
You can buy fashionable clothes that aren’t sold in the provinces, and there are lots of hot eateries too!” Harajuku is a great shopping spot for people of all ages to visit.
Harajuku is a fashionable town no matter where you go, but the atmosphere differs depending on the area. Harajuku can be roughly divided into the following areas
Takeshita-Street area, Meiji-Street area, Omotesando area
As young people get older, they move from Takeshita-dori to the Meiji-dori area, and as they grow older, they go to the Omotesando area.
The spots can be accessed on foot, and this is why everyone gathers in Harajuku.
Togo Shrine
When Heihachiro Togo died on May 30, 1934, requests and donations for the construction of a shrine to honor him came in from all over Japan to the Ministry of the Navy. The Minister of the Navy at the time, Censei Okado, established the Admiral Togo Memorial Foundation, which planned the construction of the shrine with the donations received.
The original site was a 6,600-square-meter mansion that had been owned by Ikeda Yoshinori, the lord of the Tottori domain, since 1862. His descendant, Marquis Nobumasa Ikeda, the 15th head of the Ikeda family of the former Okayama domain, transferred half of the private residence site to the General Togo Memorial Association, which became the land for the shrine [2]. Today, the Harajuku Police Station, Shibuya Ward Gaien Junior High School, Shibuya Ward Central Library, and Park Court Jingumae stand on the remaining land.
A ground-breaking ceremony was held in September 1937, and a town-breaking ceremony was held on May 27, 1940 (Navy Day), at the same time the shrine was upgraded to a prefectural shrine.
In 1945, the shrine was about to be elevated to the status of a separate government mintage shrine, but the Tokyo Air Raid destroyed the shrine pavilions, and the elevation was abandoned. After the war, momentum for restoration grew, and in 1958, a dedication association was formed, and the shrine was completed in 1964.
On February 3, 1989, the Togo Shrine was bombed.
On the grounds of the shrine, there is an attached educational institution, Togo Kindergarten. The shrine also enshrines various spirits of naval, maritime, and fishery-related personnel as “Umi-no-Miya” (Shrine of the Sea).
