Joshua PetersOctober 5, 2017Awesome street. You have to do this if you have never been to Tokyo before. Crapes, fries, and other tasty items. So many shopping stores. High fashion to cosplay to hipsters. It has everything,

Wojtek J.October 23, 2016Must be if you're traveling with a teenager. Filled with clothes, accessories they need. Expect to see a lot of young Japanese and a dozen of tourists. A bit too crowded just for pics.

Russell HirschornAugust 9, 2015Market-like street steps from JR Harajuku. Great shops and snacks for decent prices. Daiso is a MUSTUpvoted 1 day ago
LadyJupiter.comJune 27, 2017Small, busy, plenty of shops. Takeshita-dori is like a young concentrated Tokyo. Steps away from the JR Harajuku station, it's packed and trendy. If you want to see cosplayers, go to Ikebukero 👍🏻
Dan Mondragón SomeraMay 27, 2018Come with all your zen on because this street is CROWDED AS HELL, nice shops and nice things to eat though :) wander around and discover other things besides the common
Yuan NieMay 14, 2016Haven't seen any cosplayers haha. Anyway if you are a johnnys fan, this is a must go place. Even if you don't buy just feel the vibe.XD Plus you can take cute pictures with this splendid machine.
Yuen HawJune 11, 2017A hit with teenagers and young adults. Get your dose of one-of-a-kind hipster fashion if you've never been here before. Otherwise its just an overcrowded street that you can avoid.- Adibah UlfahDecember 20, 2015Spent leftover yen here. Wide choices of clothes, shoes, bags. Try the 250¥ Croquant choux zakuzaku puff, so delicious.
Av0 c@doNovember 7, 2018Interesting place to people watch and enjoy the various foods while you walk from one end to the other.
Ailie ChangMay 13, 2016Gotta visit this street at least once. Try the ZakuZaku Croquant Chou. You can't miss it the smell just draws you in. The cotton candy store is very unimpressive.
Elise ❥January 8, 2017Love the Colours along this street. Heaps of food and shopping. Easily able to spend half a day here. Just across the road from Meiji Shrine
ShirpsApril 1, 2016Very busy on a Sunday! It'll take you a while just walking down the street because it's so crowded. Great place for buying crepes.- Open all year round, even on new year. It's probably the day when it's the most crowded. Visit after Hatsumode at Meiji Jingu
- ZaraFebruary 5, 2015Insane on Sundays. If you want to actually shop, avoid this time or get swept down the streets with the crowd. High end and famous boutiques are found across the road from the end of the street.
No cool dude would seriously hang out/ shop here. It's Cat Street and the surrounding backstreets way down Takeshita and over the main road (Meiji Dori) under the unmistakable Harajuku arch you want.
Fluying ✅December 13, 2015The stores are not cool for western fashion but here is where local urban tribes buy their clothes. Check this guide http://tokyoamazing.blogspot.jp/2014/07/urban-tribes.html
Kevin SchmidtMay 23, 2016Small and absolutely crowded shopping street. Not really worth the visit imho. If you're on a tight schedule, you might want to skip it. Try the sweet neighborhood around omate-sando station instead!
Alessandro MingioneApril 5, 2015Sick of all the Shinto, quietness, and sophistication of Meiji Jingū? Come here to get your share of screaming teenagers and trendy crêpe shops.
Kay 5January 16, 2017The place swarms with Japanese teenagers! This pedestrian street is the hub for culture of youth street fashion, so much fun!
EricOctober 26, 2014Cheap, stylish goods you can't really find anywhere else. Check the side streets for hidden gems.
Ronak DayaOctober 29, 2016Busy street with a lot of small shops. Explore with a couple of snacks from the local stores.
Jessalynne PetersJanuary 24, 2016Crepes, alternative styles, hello kitty. Lots of people watching and souvenir shopping.
Josh GellersAugust 12, 2019SO CROWDED ALWAYS. But a lot of fun and features an eclectic array of shops.
Nicole AptekarApril 20, 2015More touristy and less trendy than it used to be, it's still a fun stroll if you can handle the crush of people.
Vernon GoMay 31, 2014Fun walk... but the sides streets after this street across one of the main drags at the end are MUCH MORE interesting.
Tom Van GoylenMarch 17, 2015Pay a visit to the 6 Doki Doki shop in one of the side streets. Totally insane but a lot of fun.
Candid CuisineApril 10, 2015When at Takeshita Dori, must eat crepes and calbee chips while shopping!
ddvDecember 30, 2015Busy hustle and bustle, see if you can spot the 7 distinct fashions that exist between Harajuku and Shibuya.
Kate FurmanApril 12, 2016Stores open around 10 am during weekday. Come early before it gets too crowded to move.
Jeffrey BalanagDecember 16, 2015In case nature calls, McDonalds has a loo in the basement, and the new ALTA at the 3F, beside the cafe...
Carlos EatsDecember 4, 2011You'll find some awesome clothes and accessories on this street, but the price disparity is pretty huge.
Kevin ErguizaApril 4, 2016The crowd's too huge at Sundays, I think it scared off the cosplayers haha Hope that it doesn't rain when you visit the place.
💎TApril 13, 2015My favorite store here has to be Daiso 😂. There's nowhere else you can get everything for ¥100 each.- Carlos EatsDecember 4, 2011Lookout for an art gallery in one of the alleyways on this street. Cool stuff :)
You'll so maybe clean youe eyes becouse you work the street on holiday Let.s around so biggest.
