From Harajuku To Shibuya

While Black Pigeon Speaks makes some of the best political diatribes anywhere in the world, we also admire his softer reflections while wandering the streets in lands far from his native Canada. Here, he takes a walking tour in Tokyo, one of the world’s most exotic cities, surveying the businesses, the people, the architecture, the traffic and other features of life from Haraujuku to Shibuya. Japanese youth culture and fashion are much on display in Harajuku, while Shibuya is home to Tokyo’s most bustling commercial and financial districts, with some of the world’s busiest train stations.

 

Shibuya: Tokyo’s Lockdown

Black Pigeon Speaks takes us to the Shibuya district in Tokyo. This is a gritty shopping and commercial district that straddles two of Tokyo’s busiest railroad hubs — the Shibuya Station and the Shinjuku Station. This is a district of great popularity with young people. Here can be found several famous fashion stores as well as Japan’s Internet technology firms. But there are also small walking streets where there are old-school pubs that can only accommodate a few people in tight quarters. This is a walk-though tour.
