 Takeshita-dôri by FelixB
Strolling around this street is definately a must-do for visitors of Tokyo.
HipHop-Outfits, Alternative-, Gothic-, Hard-Rock and many more styles of clothes.
Takeshita-dôri is comparatively cheap. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Takeshita-dôri is right in front of Yamanote Harajuku station.

 Takeshita-dori in Harajuku by vincentf
There are a lot delicious crepe stalls and coffee shops lining this street. Nearby Omotesando (the famous tree lined street in Harajuku) has many other eateries, but quite expensive. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Opposite of JR Harajuku Station.

I was thinking it would be just for kids... but I was wrong. It's full of cute toys and interesting things that amuse adult as well some of the stuffs I believe made for adult. It has 5 or 6floors that each floor run as a different theme. It’s highly recommended to who are interested in Japanese toys and amine, of course there are a lot of Hello Kitty too or just looking around is pretty amazing. I guarantee that you would forget time like everytime I do.

 La Foret by sacrebleu
1. UK high-street label Top Shop and Top Men. It is quite a small shop and prices are marginally but understandably higher than in the UK.
2. The women shoe shop in the basement, I bought 2 pairs of ankle boots here – couldn’t believe my eyes when I found out how cheap they were! Don’t remember the name though but it’s situated in the corner.
Top Shop/Top Men - more expensive than average.
Shoe shop - very cheap! Around 5000 yen for a pair of ankle boots. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: Just off Harajuku's main intersection of Omotesando Dori and Meiji Dori. 1 minute walk from Meiji-Jingumae or 3 minutes from JR Harajuku station.Website: http://harajuku.jp/

 A shop in Takeshita
Street by leanne_pearc
The shops in Takeshita Street are very small, so be prepared to squeeze and also be patient!
I bought mini skirt with layers of petticoats, hats, knee high socks, bright coloured stockings and goth jumpers! I surely will stand out back home! Leave a Comment

Oriental Bazaar is located on Omotesando and it provides plenty of options for souvenirs. On all levels you can find interesting local crafts and furniture as well as books and other souvenirs. The prices are not cheap, but the variety of souvenirs is a plus.
Souvenirs
Expect to pay more than souvenir shops in Asakusa

Surely it can’t be so cheap for a kimono in a shop on Omotesando!!
Because of the touristy looking shop front, I was a bit skeptical at first when my boyfriend took me there. I had never been before but he had last year in where he bought some chopsticks and beautiful hand-painted pottery cups.
It is a one-stop shop to satisfy your Japanese craze! They sell everything from handicrafts, sake cups, paintings, fans, old fabrics, t-shirts to furniture! All are very beautiful, non-tacky and come with a reasonable price tag!
They have a section selling second hand kimonos. I tried on this beautiful summery orange colour silk kimono with hand-sewn embroidery and couldn’t part with it! At a price of 8000 yen, I imagined I have in my hand this kimono was once belonged to a famous geisha from Kyoto. Even though it’s used but it looks as good as new to me!
One thing which puzzled me - could it be because it is a tourist shop on Omotesando, the shop assistants were not as friendly and polite, or in fact they felt like they could be themselves amongst all the foreigners?
We also bought a set of rice bowls, a few sake cups, a painting and some souvenirs for friends and naturally making this the last stop of the day with all things carried back to the hotel!
They also have beautiful thick silk belts (those you wear with your kimono) you can use as a table runner!
A set of rice bowls - 2000 yen, painting in a tube - 2000 yen, kimono - 6000 - 15000 yen Leave a Comment
