You’ll see a number of styles mixed together, but Gothic Lolita is one of the most recurrent themes. Most Japanese students and workers must dress conservatively during the week, but Harajuku Bridge gives them a space for self-expression.

When you get tired of hanging out, there’s much else to do in Harajuku. A “day in the life” of a Goth Loli may include visiting a tearoom, looking at clothes at the nearby Laforet department store, and rocking out at a Visual Kei concert or club night such as Tokyo Dark Castle.
