<\/a><\/p>\nOn the way back to Tokyo we finally caught a great view of Mt. Fuji through what seemed to be a large window at a station along the way\u2026(couldnt believe my timing to catch a shinkansen in the shot as well! :p )<\/p>\n
Harajuku Not too happy about our other failed attempts at rummaging through a large flea market in Japan, this was our last chance. Weather was good, no forecast for rain, left Osaka early to try and beat the crowd\u2026 unfortunately the forecast said nothing about protesters! Not sure what they were on about but they were everywhere along with police and media. Foiled again. The park however was a nice consolation for a walk around and to take in some of the outrageously dressed people, dancers, artists and even a cardboard box town that looked like it was pieced together and built\/painted on over many hours throughout the day.<\/p>\n The park in itself is huge so even though it gets rather busy there\u2019s always a nice quiet spot away from all the action.<\/p>\n Disappointed once again, there was only one thing left to do\u2026. SHOP!<\/p>\n Takeshita Street and surrounds<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve covered Harajuku previously<\/a> and you\u2019d have to be researching the wrong country to have missed any mention of the place in reading up\u00a0of Tokyo must-see\u2019s so we\u2019ll leave you with the knowledge that nothing much has changed\u2026 in the sense that everything changes all the time. They\u2019ve spruced up the building fasades on Takeshita street<\/em> and the major street that runs adjacent to it. Cat Street<\/em> has also gotten a face lift and a few different shops have moved in. The best thing, most of our fave sneaker\/streetwear stores have all moved together. Undefeated, Kicks Lab, Chapter, La Brea Avenue<\/strong> (and Supreme<\/strong> if you like extra hype with your purchases) are all within spitting distance of each other along with seizure inducing rainbow colour store 6% Dokidoki<\/strong> and Ninja Warrior champion sponsor \u2013 Rescue Squad<\/strong>. Also in the area, Nike Harajuku<\/strong>, the massive Harajuku Daiso<\/strong> and the irresistible Kiddyland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n — With Shibuya so close, its worth the walk to discover some new sights and places that you\u2019d miss on the train, and that we did. We grabbed a bite to eat at Teddy\u2019s Bigger Burger<\/strong>, a burger joint from our last destination, Hawaii<\/a> with a guy serving that could only be classed as \u201cquite the character\u201d, which simply\u00a0added to the great dining experience and tasty food :-\u20189<\/p>\n Continuing down Meiji Dori<\/em> sees eye catching landmarks like the Audi Forum<\/strong> \u201ccrumpled glass\u201d building, sneaker boutique, Atmos<\/strong>, familiar brands like DC, Burberry<\/strong> and local quirky tee store, Graphix<\/strong>. We also stumbled across a live graffiti art install outside a skate shop and swingin\u2019 rockabilly greaser store, Temmye \u2013 Cream Soda<\/strong> on our way to our streetwear faves, KiksTYO<\/strong> and Santastic<\/strong>, then almost got caught in an interview with a lifestyle TV show at the Shibuya crossing.<\/p>\n While we struck out completely with the markets this time, we at least added a few new \u201cI\u2019ll be back\u201d spots to the list for future visits.<\/p>\n Next up we hit two of the biggest sights in Osaka, Osaka castle and the Umeda Sky building.<\/p>\n If you have any questions on our travels, where to buy, what to do, hit us up on the Soulbridge media facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Japan 2013 part #1 \u2013 Arrival<\/a> We stopped at Macca’s for brekky first and just had to try the maple syrup infused “waffle” bun McMuffin. Yep, every bit as sickly delicious as it sounds :p On the way back to Tokyo we finally caught a great view of Mt.
