Harajuku, Tokyo Overview

Takeshita-dori is four hundred metres of teen boutiques, thrift shops and crepe stands, and it is shoulder to shoulder at weekends, so come on a weekday morning. The street cosplay scene the district is famous for ended years ago. Omotesando, running south, is the better walk: a tree-lined avenue of flagship architecture, with Cat Street linking the two.

The roads are filled with people sporting different kinds of extreme styles, which makes Harajuku the most fashionable district in Tokyo. The most crucial street, Takeshita-Dori is lined with creperies and themed cafes (maid, vampire and Hello Kitty among many others) and fashion boutiques.

It also has Yoyogi Park, one of Japan's best parks.
