Challenge Questions:
- What are the coordinates for where this picture was taken? (yes you can use coordinates of arch)
- What popular district is this?
- It’s Friday night, I could go for some cotton candy. Where am I going? What time do they close? We can see that this image is from Takeshita Street. so, my main goal to locate this arch on google maps and find the coordinates. I searched for Takeshita Street on google map and found this arch just next to the Harajuku Station. Coordinates: 35.67155870438112, 139.70322995226775 Now, the next question is to find the district in which this arch is located.

Now, the last question is to find the cotton candy where the photographer was going. I searched for the cotton candy shops in Takeshita St, and there are only 2 shops in that street. So, the nearest candy shop to the photographer is Totti Candy Factory I checked the shop’s opening and closing hours on Google Maps, but I’d like to cross-check them since the information on Google Maps can sometimes be outdated. I visited their website, but there was no information about their working hours. However, they had linked their Instagram account, so I checked it, hoping I could find some information there. I found a pinned video on their Instagram that contains all the information about their working hours. So, the shop will be open until 20:00 on Friday night.
