Cat Street, which cuts through Harajuku and across Omotesando to Shibuya, is a 1.5km long walking street lined with shops, restaurants, cafes and galleries.
Cat Street is decidedly low-rise, with architecturally interesting buildings and residential properties sitting amid the stores. So it’s great for a pleasant and interesting stroll.
Notable stores include the American multi-brand emporium Opening Ceremony, RAGTAG, which stocks second-hand designer clothes, Adidas Originals, Converse, Patagonia and Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren.
Food-wise, there’s Smokehouse T.Y. Harbor Brewery, Daihachi Takohanamaru which serves takoyaki (octopus dumplings) from a window, The Great Burger which is famous for its American fare and popular pancake restaurant Flippers.
There’s numerous other options too, including vintage stores and hair salons.
Don’t be afraid to venture off Cat Street either, there’s plenty of other great things to see in the side streets along the way.
