Planet Tokyo

Because you'll need more than a passport

Harajuku Park

March 22, 2014 by Kirk

Harajuku Park is legendary for the culture clash that presents itself there on Sunday afternoons. Years ago some Rockabilly Rebels began dancing to old 50’s music and the rest has become an international legend. The truth of the matter is that these Japanese Rockabilly geeks are not aging so gracefully. The Sunday afternoon band scene also seems to have died out somewhat. On a recent Sunday afternoon the park was flooded with black clad death rockers advertising their devotion to something called “Lunasea”.

If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon in the park, this is the place to be. If you want to view young-trendy Tokyo in action, leave the park and wander around the surrounding streets of Harajuku.
