Harajuku Station has changed -- a lot!

Jun 30 (ONLY in JAPAN) - In March 2020, the new Harajuku Station opened, moving from the original building that had been its home since 1906.

The old Harajuku Station may be destroyed soon and replaced with a replica that houses a museum, but until all this happens, it sits right next door, an impressive contrast between the early 20th and early 21st centuries. Today, we'll have a look inside the station and visit the train station platforms.
