Brahm's Path

Brahms no Kosan is a small European-style alley beside Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Tokyo, marked by a bust of Brahms. A quiet path opens from a mid-block passage off Takeshita Street, and the lane appears as a setting in Love Live! Superstar!!, drawing visitors on pilgrimage. The alley was once a stream flowing from the Kiyomasa well at Meiji Jingu, and it became a roughly 2-meter-wide, 150-meter-long path after being culverted around the time of the Tokyo Olympics. Takeshita Street is crowded, while this alley has few people.
