Exploring Harajuku, The Center of Japanese Pop Culture!



We are exploring the Harajuku, this is one of the most kawaii areas of Tokyo Japan. But before we get to the cute stuff we’ll explore the beautiful and historic Meiji shrine. We’ll start the morning with coffee featuring the most amazing 3d latte art from Cafe Reissue. On the iconic Takeshita street, we’ll try a bunch of the cute desserts, from sugar glazed strawberries at Strawberry Fetish to crepes with full cheesecake slices inside. We’ll also explore some of the stores and all the adorable Merch, including a gachapon store filled with over a thousand mystery capsule machines. We’ll even check out some of the local fast food options including Japan-exclusive McDonalds menu items. And we’ll end the night at a delicious gyoza restaurant in Shinjuku, see some street magic and finally witness Godzilla blow fire above Hotel Gracery. Come with us on this adventure!

  1. I love this video because it's very similar to my last trip to Japan. I forgot the names of some of the places, so this video was priceless. It's so nice to see videos off the beaten path.

  2. I just want to say how much i'm enjoying this series. Not only the sights and tips and tricks etc but just to see the joy on both of your faces it's wonderful, so thank you. And i'm so happy for you!

  3. We ran into y'all in the capsule shop! It was so surreal, and I told my husband afterward that it would have been helpful to have your videos while we were planning this trip 😂 I was totally shocked to spot Peter's neon glasses in real life! Thanks for being so sweet to this slightly frazzled fan 🫰 can't wait to watch the rest of your Japan adventures!

  4. I wasn't able to go to Harajuku on my trip to Japan. I'm glad I got to live it through watching this video. I was able to go to the Meiji shrine. You have to walk quite a bit to get there but it's worth it.

  5. Great series so far. Coincidentally, I was also in Tokyo last month. I stayed there about a week after you guys for about 4 days. Had a great time and also visited Tokyo Disneyland, which I'm sure is a future vlog. Food is great and there is so much to do.

  6. i have heard over and over again that it is considered rude to walk and eat/drink in Japan. Did you find this to be true? Like if you can't sit down anyplace, where do you eat? Some of those shops seemed to small to sit in and eat.

  7. The corn and edamame are an alternative for kids mostly so they don't have to get fries with the set.

  8. Wow look at you guys in Japan.Iam enjoying the video, Japan full of nice culture, everything so colorful,clean respectful and safe.Take care and safe travels from Universal Jamie.
