Access
There are five entrances: Harajuku Gate, Shibuya Gate, South Gate, West Gate, and Sanguubashi Gate, but the West Gate and Sanguubashi Gate are close by, and the Shibuya Gate and South Gate are also close, so there are actually three entrances.
The nearest station is the West Exit of Harajuku Station (JR Yamanote Line), about 3 minutes walk to Harajuku Gate. It will take about 10 minutes to walk from Yoyogi Hachiman Station (Odakyu Line) towards the West Gate or Sanguubashi Gate.
It is also possible to go there from Shibuya, heading north towards LINE CUBE SHIBUYA, passing through the zelkova trees and entering the south side of Yoyogi Park. (The south side is open and there are no partitions, and you will pass through Shibuya Gate when moving to the north side on the pedestrian bridge)
