Takeshita Street, Shopping street in Harajuku, Japan
Takeshita Street extends for 400 meters through Harajuku, featuring numerous fashion boutiques, food stalls, and small retail shops on both sides of the walkway.
The street emerged as a center for youth fashion and subcultures during the 1990s, when it became a primary destination for teenagers expressing themselves through clothing.
Japanese teenagers gather at Takeshita Street to showcase their fashion choices, ranging from gothic styles to colorful outfits, while exploring shops and enjoying local snacks.
Located next to Harajuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line, the street contains multiple shops that operate from 11:00 to 20:00, with peak visitor times during weekends.
The street features specialized photo booths called purikura, where visitors can take pictures and modify them with digital decorations before printing them as stickers.
