Harajuku 

     

     Harajuku is the common name given to a geographic area spreading from Harajuku Station to Omotesando n popular reference Harajuku also encompasses many smaller backstreets such as Takeshita Street and Cat Street spreading between Sendagaya in the north to Shibuya in the south.

Takeshita Dori

     The symbol of Harajuku and birthplace of many of Japan's fashion trends, Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) is a narrow, roughly 400 meter long street lined by shops, boutiques, cafes and fast food outlets targeting Tokyo's teenagers. Because of the street's popularity, it becomes extremely busy and crowded on the weekends. Interesting shops and restaurants can also be found along some of the side streets.

Omotesando

     Referred to as Tokyo's Champs-Elysees, Omotesando is a one kilometer long, tree lined avenue, serving as the main approach to Meiji Shrine. Numerous stores, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, including several leading fashion brand shops, stand along the avenue. This area generally caters to an older and wealthier clientele than Takeshita Dori.

Kiddy Land

 

     One of Tokyo's most famous and popular toy stores, Kiddy Land has a fantastic selection of toys and other products to amuse kids, including a Snoopy Town and Hello Kitty Shop on a total of five floors. The Omotesando store was reopened in July 2012 after being reconstructed and redesigned.

My opinion:
     Takeshita Dori is lined with boutiqies selling all sorts of things. Clothing, shoes, accessories, candy, costume and even crepes! You will find some funky clothes, some people do wear. And you will find lots of "fashion-forward" shoppers with rainbow hair, lots of facial piercing and other funky accessories. Kiddy Land is good too. Because Several floors packed with toys. If you're looking for gifts for the little ones, or if you just want to feel like a kid again! Definitely the place to go.
