Youth Fashion HQ


Off The Beaten Path Must See

Address:
Takeshita Dori
Tokyo, Kanto

Description

The narrow alley of Takeshita-dori (pronounced ta-KESH-ta) is fashion central for teens and tweens, a cacophony of sights, sounds, and smells, all designed to appeal to the world's most fashion-forward beings. Browse tiny boutiques, hair salons, and creperies, or just people-watch--the urge will be irresistible. Prices range from minimal to maximal, but you needn't spend a yen if you're just passing through. It's just off Omote-Sando, which services the other end of the fashion spectrum.
