[57]Takeshita Street (Takeshita-dori)

Description

The shopping street that runs from Harajuku Station’s Takeshita Exit to Meiji Street is called Takeshita Street, and it is packed with fashion-related stores.

It is said that the young people (especially women) who walk down Takeshita Street have a great sense of fashion and are very up to date with trends, and many tourists visit for this reason.

It’s crowded even on weekdays, but it’s even more crowded on weekends, so please be careful.

English Support

It varies by shop, but we don’t think there are any shops where you can’t communicate in English at all.

The pedestrian mall is open from 11am to 6pm, so we recommend timing your visit accordingly. However, it’s still crowded, so it’s best to have someone to help you.

Access

It is by far the most convenient to use the Takeshita exit of Harajuku Station (JR Yamanote Line), but you can also go to Meiji Jingu-mae Station (Metro Chiyoda Line / Metro Fukutoshin Line). In that case, exit 3 or exit 5 will be the closest.
