Harajuku (& Takeshita) is such a fun area in Tokyo you can’t miss! I loved walking around there 💛 . #japandiaries #japanvlog #takeshitastreet #japanitinerary

Japan’s third-largest city, Osaka, is known as a sassier, and somewhat more manageable alternative to Tokyo (it’s about a quarter of its size!).
