Harajuku’s Takeshita Street tokyocheapo.com

Originally the place to go for counterfeit American and Japanese brands in the 90s, Takeshita has always had a fashionable reputation, but it’s cleaned up its act these days. Well-known and featured in every guidebook, it’s the heart of all things trendy and weird, with studded boots and acid-trip kitten T-shirts galore. Although there are chain stores dotted around, the street is mainly filled with independent stores and smaller brands as well as a few small department stores, meaning there is a seriously huge range to choose from.
