Abstract
Harajuku has undergone a rapid social change which is a typical example of modern urbanization in Japan. Analyzing a social research for residents of this town, we found that their consciousness for urban space is split into two types: the social consciousness which grows up through living together in a community; the social consciousness of visitors to Harajuku, which the residents internalize. Every resident has two types of consciousness, which are opposite to one another. The social reality which supports the latter consciousness is invading to the social reality for the former consciousness.
