the location
*Tokyo (東京 Tōkyō?, “Eastern Capital”) [toːkjoː], English: /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/; officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to?),[3] is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the largest metropolitan area of Japan. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family. Tokyo is located in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands.[4] Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 Tōkyō-fu?) and the city of Tokyo (東京市 Tōkyō-shi?).
渋谷 = SHIBUYA*
*Shibuya (渋谷区 Shibuya-ku?) is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan. As of 2008, it had an estimated population of 208,371 and a population density of 13,540 persons per km². The total area is 15.11 km². The name “Shibuya” is also used to refer to the central business district of Shibuya Ward, which surrounds Shibuya Station, one of Tokyo’s busiest railway stations. Shibuya is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area.
原宿 = HARAJUKU*
*Harajuku (原宿 “meadow lodging”) listen (help·info) is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan. Every Sunday, young people dressed in a variety of styles including gothic lolita, visual kei, and decora, as well as cosplayers spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many. Most young people gather on Jingu Bridge, which is a pedestrian bridge that connects Harajuku to the neighboring Meiji Shrine area.[1] Harajuku is also a fashion capital of the world, renowned for its unique street fashion.[2] Harajuku street style is promoted in Japanese and international publications such as Kera, Tune, Gothic & Lolita Bible and Fruits. Many prominent designers and fashion ideas have sprung from Harajuku and incorporated themselves into other fashions throughout the world. Harajuku is also a large shopping district that includes international brands, its own brands, and shops selling clothes young people can afford.
ACCESS
BEST ACCESS FROM AIRPORT
Take the Airport Limousine Bus from Narita or Haneda Airport to Shinjuku Station. The orange Airport Express bus counters are right in front after leaving the customs area. The busses leave just outside the terminal.
TIP: Ask for the combination ticket of airport limousine bus and Tokyo Metro. You will receive a 1-day subway pass for almost the same price.
Alternatively you could take the JR Narita Airport Express Train or the Monorail from Haneda Airport. The counters are near the bus counters, however the train station is a bit of a walk. We recommend the train for the trip to the airport as the travel time is more predictable.
ACCESS FROM SHINJUKU STATION
From Shinjuku Station ca. 5 to 10 minutes by taxi to the apartment.
You are going to Jingumae Nichome via Meiji Street.
