I first discovered you while I was in college (1999). A station that looked different than any other station I saw in Japan and right outside it was the popular Takeshita St.
As I took one look to see you, I realize there have been many memories. From the ’90s, the 2000s, the last decade, to the new decade of 2020 and on, I know you’ll continue to be popular, continue to be visited and many will have fond memories.
Goodbye old Harajuku Station.
Hello New Harajuku Station.
東京オリンピック・パラリンピックに向けて建設が進められていたJR山手線・原宿駅の新しい駅舎が完成し、21日から利用が始まりました。一方、都内で最も古い木造駅舎として親しまれた建物は役割を終え、96年の歴史に幕を下ろしました。https://t.co/gsQBtP8bKR#nhk_video pic.twitter.com/Ct7DBS9Rgs
