Tokyo's most famous Shintō shrine. Then join the teenage fashion
parade down Takeshita-dōri ( Click here ) . Make a worthwhile detour to the Ukiyo-
e Ōta Memorial Art Museum ( Click here ), before breaking for lunch at local fa-
vourite Harajuku Gyōza Rō ( Click here ).
Spend the afternoon making your way down the boutique-lined boulevard
Omote-sandō ( Click here ) , gawking at the impressive architecture. Duck
into the alleyways of Ura-Hara, to see some off-the-wall fashions and to take a
peak into the equally off-the-wall Design Festa ( Click here ) . Grab a coffee at one
of the neighbourhood's many cafes, such as Omotesando Koffee ( Click here ) .
Leave yourself an hour to explore the galleries of the Nezu Museum ( Click here )
at the far end of Omote-sandō, in Aoyama.
