A choice btw old and new.
See Meiji Shrine and learn from an experienced guide the cultural aspect or focus fully on the Harajuku pop culture.
The Old:

You will see Takeshita Dori Street and then move onto Ura-Harajuku and Cat Street and see the latest pop trends.
Foodies:
You will be given opportunities to try pop street foods and further be given a Japanese Edo style street food lunch.
More:
You will be given the choice of seeing the architecture of the posh Omotesando area, how it came to be, see the skyline of the Harajuku area or revert back to pop culture; we will introduce you to more places to see before parting ways.

Max our guide gave us insight on Meiji Shrine and Shintoism. Then he time traveled to the present to show us the historical aspect of how Harajuku came to be and showed us the different shops and sites of interest in Takeshita, Harajuku and Cat Street. My children loved the street food that was Max recommended - the crepes were awesome.
The Japanese attire souvenirs we bought from the places Max recommended were bangs for the bucks and he even gave us an option to see the modern architecture in the Omotesando area or to see the Harajuku skyline. He really made sure that the whole family will have something to take back not just for those interested in Kawaii pop culture.
The Japanese pancake lunch was children friendly. You will have a good time.
