This is one of my favourite places in Harajuku and it's the perfect place to escape to when you get tired of the crowds. 

There is more to Tōgō shrine than meets the eye - head down the stairs on the other side of the shrine and you will find yourself in this tranquil garden. Take a stroll and watch the colourful koi carp swimming in the pond before heading back to the hustle and bustle of Harajuku.  

To get to Tōgō shrine, turn left at Marion Crepes on Takeshita-dōri.

This Astro Boy (or Tetsuwan Atomu in Japanese) mosaic street art, by French urban artist Invader, can be found right above a tunnel entrance.
