While Mak was still sleeping, I decided to walk a bit in Jimbocho just to get familiar with my surroundings (although I went a little bit far heh).
It's Sunday, therefore it's the weekend. In the weekend, in Harajuku, there is a huge gathering with cosplayed people, especially cute girls. But when we got there, there wasn't much going on.
Still, the cosplay event of Harajuku Bridge is not the only attraction in Harajuku.
We visited the Harajuku Park (Yoyogi), which took quite a while since it's kinda huge.
I didn't know there would be a traditional Japanese wedding going on !!
After quite a while, we got to the main shrine, which is the reference for the center of the park:
After visiting the main shrine, we crossed the other side of the park:
Near the Yoyogi Park, there is another park more accessible to the public where a lot of people go have pic-nics, walking around, watching the fountains (which are small compared to the ones we have Canada), jogging and enjoying life pretty much.
Then we went around the main street of the city (Harajuku Street... duh) and went through the different stores but the sales were mostly clothes and shoes. There are also a lot of restaurants but their moslty fast food chains.

Harajuku's final fantasy-like feature:
-water streams in-between the sidewalks and the stores going on for miles:
Then we got a bit far off and ended up in the suburbs of the city but made it back to the Harajuku Station just fine.
We came back home to relax the rest of the day since we did a LOT of walking.
A new adventure awaits tomorrow!
