Harajuku is an area in the middle of Tokyo, located between Shinjuku and Shibuya, which are much larger commercial, entertainment centers.  But there is no place else in Tokyo, or Japan, that can beat Harajuku as a capital of street fashion and a trend-setter of youth subculture.

One late afternoon, I was waiting in the rain to cross Omotesando street, one of the thoroughfares in the area leading up to the Meiji Shrine.  The entire area was crowded as always, with shoppers, office workers, students busily walking about, which was pretty much a typical scene in any big city.  As I glanced over a colorful sea of umbrellas, however, I did see a few of "them" in the crowd - "Harajuku Girls" dressed up in unique fashion that can be seen only here.
