To the right of the traffic light at the back exit of the Harajuku Station, the Takeshita Dori used to be a hangout for high school students, but now junior high students have taken over. Low-priced fashion boutiques that appeal to young teens are crowded together here on this narrow road only 400 meters (440 yards) long altogether. And that is not all. Jumbled together with them are variety shops, shops that sell character goods, shops run by celebrities, and fast-food restaurants. On holidays this road is full of so many people and it is difficult to walk straight. In this neighborhood so sensitive to what is in and out in fashion, new stores replace old ones at a furious pace. The young teens who visit this neighborhood will someday find their own style and then leave this neighborhood behind. But although the stores and people may change, this street, as a place for young teens, never changes and is always full of vitality.
