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。

Plan Your Visit

Most Harajuku festivals are free and within walking distance of JR Harajuku Station. Summer events are crowded and humid, so arrive early, carry water, and wear comfortable shoes. For shopping campaigns, check individual store websites for exact dates and participation rules.

原宿の祭りの多くは無料で、JR原宿駅から徒歩圏内です。夏のイベントは混雑し暑いため、早めに到着し、水分補給をこまめに、歩きやすい靴でお出かけください。ショッピングキャンペーンは、各店舗の公式サイトで開催期間や参加条件を確認してください。
