Harajuku Events
Festivals, pop-ups, exhibitions, and seasonal highlights — your guide to what's happening in Harajuku
English & Japanese ｜ 英語・日本語
Harajuku is never static. Between the sacred forest of Meiji Jingu, the boutique-lined Omotesando, and the buzz of Takeshita Street, the district hosts a year-round calendar of festivals, pop-ups, and seasonal displays. From spring cherry blossoms to winter illuminations, there's always something happening.
原宿は常に動いています。明治神宮の鎮守の森、ブティックが並ぶ表参道、賑やかな竹下通りの間で、一年中祭りやポップアップ、季節のイベントが開催されています。春の桜から冬のイルミネーションまで、いつでも何かが起きています。
