I went on a Satruday and despite it being prime time (according to my guide book) for seeing some of the 'Harajuku girls' near the entrance to the park, we didn't get to see anyone dressed particularly outrageously!<br /><br />After the shrine we ended up in a busy, but not particularly fantastic katsu restaurant from memory.<br /><br />Watching the crossing in Shibuya was quite a site too.Richard Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565380446421416586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938389089879261712.post-85362141897533245042012-07-30T20:43:29.101+10:002012-07-30T20:43:29.101+10:00Hi Corinne - We were there on a Sunday and no Cos ...Hi Corinne - We were there on a Sunday and no Cos play or anything of the sort!<br /><br />Hi Vivian - I'm sure it did wonders in keeping us healthy...
