Lovely way to "travel" these days. Now if only there were a way to connect with people there.

I admit, long time user of happy Google map now converted to Apple Map and when I insisted to try to my both millennium kids, now moved to Apple Map.Can't believe better than Google map. Apple Map came long long way as formidable competitor, replacement to Google map. Apple comes from behind and do better. History repeats itself in Apple's case.

As a long time Google map user myself. Please don’t get me wrong but I would like to know why did you convert to Apple maps? And how is it better. I’d try it myself but there’s still a lockdown where I am from. Tia

Oh those areas of Harajuku and Yoyogi are the cutest places on earth. I was going down some narrow streets, I saw some Maid outfit suppliers, a lot of girly makeup boutiques, etc. Click on the store markers to see a web link, if you dare, but this place is an intersection of a lot of street cultures. Some groups hang out in the park and have their celebrations of being whatever.

Look Around'ing Harajuku is a treat. I remember both the fun little stores and the fanciful outfits people were wearing. People seemed to be there to hang out with friends and been seen more than to shop.

Great as I travel to Japan often with my wife now that we both are retired.
