Day 3 in Tokyo ( At Omante Sando)

Day 3 in Tokyo, we took the subway to Harajuku station to shop at the famed Harajuku shopping district. We were surprised that the subway station wasa quaint retro looking train station in such a hip and modern place(above).
En route to Harajuku, we dropped by and walked down to the branded fashion street there - Omote Sando Hills, known for it's neat rows of classy branded shops, lined by rows of trees. Among the shops we stopped at were Burberry and Chanel.
