I either need to go later in the day or earlier, but I got to Harajuku around 2pm and holy crap!! I was shocked buy how much people where there, I had an imposable time trying to find Waldo...I was have flash backs to when I arrived at the airport for immigration, it was a sea of people.
When I left the staion I headed back over to the Volks store to buy Sofie some clothes, You think that dolls cloathes would be cheap becuas they are for a small thing right...wrong most of the closthes cost more than human sized clothes and the shoes!!
Now I know how expensive a girlfriend can be, without having one...But I can also make her some clothes as well. Well any way I had found some neat stuff for her.
I then left back to the satiation and saw a few "crazy kids" there and I headed down a this gravel walk way that headed to a shrine where I saw a lot of people praying, I then headed back to the station and took pictures, was there some other place they meet because I didn't see much fashion kids around the station. Well Next Sunday I will check out Harajuku earlier in the day.
So I didn't spend a lot of time there but It's the kind of event I need to take in strides.

Harajuku on Sundays is the only place to be if you're cool or want to be cool -- and now you have the proof! The main place to be is Takeshita-dori, and your guidebooks should be able to give you directions... but it's not as if you'll see an organized parade of crazy new fashions. The kids are there, they are wearing original clothes and there are up & coming musicians on the sidewalk and that's what it's all about. :)
Here is a great website devoted to Tokyo fashion:

Go to the Photos + Videos section, then check out the Street section for folders full of pictures taken around Harajuku and Tokyo. Maybe you will see yourself in there somewhere!! :D
It sounds like you visited Yoyogi Park. There are hundreds of temples and shrines around Tokyo, with many little ones hidden down tiny streets in the last places you would expect.
Let's see some more of your photos!
