Harajuku... Juku means "Inn"

Well I learnt from Erwan that Juku means "Inn". Shin means new by the way, if you're thinking of Shinjuku (which I will chronicle later). I forgot to ask Erwan about the meaning of Harajuku. Lots of Japanese word learnt from Erwan... and he's not even Japanese! He's French. He learnt to speak and write Japanese for 2 years.

Well, had lunch first at Mos Burger. Fish burger and strawberry milkshake. I took the black plastic Mos Burger coaster back with me as a cheap souvenir.

I like the messy wires overhead.

Takeshita street has the most eccentric and beautiful designs for a shopfront. Check it out.
