Takashita Dori
Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) is a 400 meter, pedestrian-only street lined with fashion boutiques, cafes and restaurants in Harajuku in Tokyo, Japan.
Located directly across from the exit of JR Harajuku Station and very crowded especially on weekends, it is very popular with local young teenagers and tourists.
It is considered the birthplace of many of Japan’s fashion trends, and the street is lined with some very unique shops on both the street level and second floor.
You can find a large Daiso store (100 yen or $1) there.
Crepes is a famous and popular snack – yummy!

I love the crepes there. Whenever I visit Harajuku I deliberately get 1 or 2 crepes. It’s just that I don’t have the opportunity to go there very often now. ;-(
Thanks for commenting. Hope you get a chance to visit Harajuku again soon.
