Harajuku is the area around Harjuku station,in Tokio,Japan.
But it is not just a city, in fact it’s also a style or better say a mesh of many.
Harajuku style began in 1964 when the summer Olympics came to Tokyo. The young people wanted to impress the visitors dressing up in this way.
This fashion infuses multiple looks and styles to create a unique form of dress.
