Harajuku is a very nice district of Tokyo for its Yoyogi park and its Takeshita street, in the extension of Takeshita dori.
The Yoyogi park will allow you to get lost in a little greenery and especially to visit the Meiji-jingu sanctuary. And even if you are more traditional, don't hesitate to go and find the atmosphere of the Japanese youth on Takeshita street, with all that characterizes the Japanese eccentricity!

Yoyogi park is one of the lungs of Tokyo, surrounding the Meiji-jingu shrine. A very nice and green walk before visiting the surrounding streets. At the entrance of this park are used to meet colsplay lovers, be careful though, they are mostly present on Sunday!
Symbol of Japanese eccentricity, Takeshita Dori is a pedestrian street located next to Yoyogi Park. You will find in this street all kinds of stores offering a lot of weird things, whether to wear or to eat :). This street is also very frequented by colsplayers!
This street is called (wrongly I think), the Champs-Elysées of Tokyo. Close to Takeshita street, you will find luxury stores and a few restaurants that contrast with Yoyogi park and the eccentricity of Takeshita. We ate there and were quite disappointed, the quality is not reflected in the prices presented.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
