Ah Harajuku I loved that one street with the flea markets and shops with the most bizarre stuff in! That was down the road from where I lived! Did you ever go to Yoyogi park on a Sunday and see the different bands? I'm not sure if they even do it now?
Unfortunately I didn't learn much Japanese other than spoken as my parents wanted me to continue learning French. I did start to pick up the characters from riding the Subway though I can still remember the symbols for Roppongi and Aoyama haha! I'll message you on Discord so we can have a lovely chat about Japan. So much to talk about. :-)

Takeshita street? I loved everything about Harajuku. I was so blessed to be there. It was like a completely different world compared to the rest of the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. I'm not sure if they still do this now at Yoyogi park, but they did when I was there (1996/97). Our apartment building was on the far end of Takeshita street and our roof overlooked the park! It was heaven (and we had some parties there lol). Ahhh, Roppongi, there's a funny story with that. We got hopelessly lost on the subway trying to get there for New Years eve. We missed the countdown and were on the train then. I was very disappointed when we eventually made it there...WOW the people. And I was shocked to see tanks there to keep the peace. But somehow Tokyo always felt very safe, even without the tanks...lol. Yes, please do message me, I love to talk about my travels... Japan is one of those places one can never forget!
