I grew up dreaming about going to Harajuku (specifically Takeshita street) because of the amazing fashion and aesthetics that came from there 🤍 The few kawaii fashion stores that remain are amazing! I honestly can’t stop spending money because of how beautiful the clothes are and how great their quality/value is.
The street itself is a bit of a disappointment due to the insane amount of tourist trap/viral snack places and the general amount of tourists. It is also very cramped and the few stores that do still sell high quality kawaii fashion always have a bunch of tourists entering it and treating it like a freak show.
I am still so glad I have the possibility to come here so often. If you avoid the busiest times, it is definitely a lovely experience still 🤍
