What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Harajuku is Tokyo’s street-fashion district, where playful boutiques and colorful snacks fill the lanes around Takeshita Street. The wider neighborhood includes Ura-Harajuku and Cat Street, with vintage clothing, sneaker shops and cafes offering different sides of the area’s style.

Use JR Harajuku or Meiji-jingumae Station as a starting point and choose a few streets to explore rather than treating the whole district as one attraction. Individual stores set their own hours and admission arrangements.

How do I visit?

Reservation

Not required

Know before you go

  • Arrive at JR Harajuku or Meiji-jingumae Station, then choose between Takeshita Street and the boutiques around Cat Street. Check any must-visit shop’s own hours before setting out; the neighborhood has no single opening time.
