ぶらり東京散歩38～原宿太田美術館からハラカドへ　Tokyo Strolls #38 – From Harajuku’s Ota Memorial Museum of Art to Harakado

テーマ：ちいさな旅～お散歩・日帰り・ちょっと１泊(43658)

カテゴリ：都内近郊散策

太田美術館の館内は撮影禁止。最終日とあってか、はたまたNHK大河ドラマの影響か、結構な客の入りだったが、待ち時間等はなかった。この美術館、原宿という立地ゆえ仕方ないのかもしれないが、ごく小さな展示スペースの割に1200円という入館料は少しばかり高いなぁと感じる。

早々に見終わったので、久しぶりに竹下通りを散策してみたら、いやはやすごい人出だった。その７割ぐらいは外国人観光客だと思われる。

こんな店に入って、

こんなものを食したりもして、こういうことは娘と一緒でないともはやできないなぁと思った（笑）。

その後向かったのが、2024年にオープンした東急プラザ「ハラカド」。東急グループによる複合施設だそうだ。

面白いのは上階にある野外スペース。

ここからの景色はなかなかのものだ。

ちなみに、向かいにみえる建物は、同じ東急グループによる「オモカド」。

そんなわけで、久しぶりの原宿散歩を満喫した１日だった。

Since it was the final day of the Ota Memorial Museum of Art’s exhibition “Tsutaya Jūzaburō and the World of Publishers,” my wife, my daughter, and I headed out to Harajuku.
Photography is prohibited inside the museum. Perhaps because it was the last day—or maybe because of the influence of the current NHK Taiga drama—the place was fairly crowded, though there was no wait to get in. Given its prime Harajuku location, I suppose it can’t be helped, but even so, the ¥1,200 admission fee feels a bit steep for such a small exhibition space.
Since we finished looking around fairly quickly, we took a stroll down Takeshita Street for the first time in a while—only to find it absolutely packed. I’d say about 70% of the crowd were foreign tourists. We even tried the famous potato skewers, and I couldn’t help thinking that this is the sort of thing I can only do when I’m out with my daughter these days (lol).
After that, we headed to Harakado, a complex opened in 2023 and operated by the Tokyu Group. One interesting feature is the outdoor terrace on the upper floors. The view from there is surprisingly impressive. Incidentally, the building visible across from it is Omokado, also run by the Tokyu Group.
The dining areas inside Harakado were relatively empty—perhaps they haven’t become widely known yet. The top floor is a food court, so it seems like an easy place to drop in even when you’re on your own.
All in all, it turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable stroll around Harajuku after quite some time.
