History of Harajuku

The place name "Harajuku" was born in the early Edo period.

It came to be called Harajuku because there was a post station on the Kamakura Kaido in this area.

Yoyogi Gymnasium was the venue for the Tokyo Olympics, and the city became established as a city for young people like it is today.

As young people were inspired by foreign cultures, the demand for fashion increased.

Currently, it is crowded with many people on weekdays and holidays, and is attracting attention as a popular area that represents Tokyo.
