The 400-meter pedestrian spine of Harajuku — kawaii fashion boutiques, rainbow cotton candy, Totti Candy Factory, crepe carts, and Marion Crêpes. Shops close earlier than you think (one source warns daytime-only), and weekends are physically full. Loop out of Takeshita to La Forêt, Tokyu Plaza Omotesando, and Cat Street for the full Harajuku shopping route. Food is part of the sport: rainbow toast, tunnel potato, oversized cotton candy.
