SHIBUYA SKY
The roof above Shibuya Station. Book a slot — do not make a walk-up queue your spine.

Meiji Jingu
The forest beside Harajuku. After the shrine: Takeshita-dori or Yoyogi Park — not Ginza.

Takeshita-dori
Harajuku’s narrowest supply street. In west, out east — do not backtrack.

Yoyogi Park
Lawn beside the shrine grounds. Weekend street shows are scenery, not the spine.

Omotesando
The tree axis from Harajuku to Aoyama. Buildings and shops are one line — finish it, then stop.
