Takeshita Street

竹下通り

Harajuku, Tokyo · 東京

A pedestrian lane of crepe stands, sock shops, purikura booths and secondhand fashion, aimed squarely at fifteen-year-olds and packed accordingly.

Why it’s worth it

It is a genuine cultural engine — half of what Japanese street fashion exports started on this lane. Go, walk it once, buy a crepe, then leave for Cat Street.
