It's a SUNDAYY! & where the best place to visit? It's Harajuku! To see the cosplayer hanging around... I didnt get to see them on my 2010 trip even on a Sunday... i dont know why. So let me just try one more time.
My usual routine for Harajuku start from Meji Shrine which is situated right next to the JR station.

rinse your hands clean before entering
the main keep

Some of them wear yukata to shrine as a respect
After all the praying, we headed back to the station and crossed the road to the hippest street!

this time round, i made an effort to locate porter yoshida flagship store at omotosando..
im a porter fan sooo sooo happy to see which a big store! but they have different items with headporter so make a trip to both.
By the time we left Omotosando, it almost evening and we need to rush to our 2nd destination of the day.
Odaiba!
One of my fave place in tokyo too... you got soo sooo much to do and see there... and with the new mall opening... im seriously short of time!
From the normal rail, we switched to Yurikamome...
Yurikamome is anautomated, elevated train with rubber tires, which connects Shimbashi Station
on the JR Yamanote Line with all of Odaiba's attractions and
Toyosu Station on the Yurakucho Subway Line. Trains depart every few minutes,
and a ride between Shimbashi and Daiba Station takes 15 minutes and costs 310
yen.The Yurikamome crosses the Rainbow Bridge (270 degree turn just before it
cross the bridge) to get to Odaiba and offers spectacular views of the harbor
and the Tokyo
We alight at Aomi Station to visit Palette Town first....
