Getting there: Subway station Harajuku

We visited Yoyogi Park twice during the cherry blossom season because there were so many things to see and going on. Before becoming a park it was a residential area for US military personnel and the Olympic Village for the games of 1964. The atmosphere in the park was very dynamic and lively, much young people and not mainstream type of people could be seen sitting under the cherry trees. There were a lot of stands where one could buy all kind of snacks. The entrance is free.
