Harajuku 原宿

Tokyo's youth-culture epicenter — kawaii cafés, vintage kissaten holdouts, and pancake stacks that still command 60-minute queues.

The Character of Harajuku

Harajuku is where Tokyo broadcasts to the world. Takeshita Street is the kawaii canyon — cotton candy, character bento, and Korean street food crammed into a 350-meter lane. But step one block off and you find Cat Street's vintage stores, decades-old kissaten, and the legendary backstreets that made Harajuku a global fashion landmark in the 1990s.
