Tips from the community
The center of Japanese youth pop culture, Takeshita street is one of the most iconic Tokyo locations that you have to visit. This pedestrian street is lined with sweet shops, subculture fashion shopping, and delicious restaurants. Walking through feels like you walked into an alternate reality full of kawaii and creamy Japanese-style crepes. Once you reach the end of the street you enter the more elegant high-end shopping area of Harajuku full of elegant department stores, but Takeshita street is an unchanged relic of the famous Harajuku fashion past.
