One of the coolest looking areas to see going to Harajuku/Omotesando is the corner of Tokyu Plaza and its mirrored opening. But right in the side is a group of shops, may it be SHELTTER TOKYO, JILL by Jill Stuart, Bills, American Eagle, Starbucks, etc.
But why focus on this area?
Each time I have passed by this area, there are long lines of people or large gatherings.
It’s like a social hub to be around and each time I’m in this area, I always find it fascinating of how many people are gathered around it.
Many asked, why do they say “TOKYU PLAZA OMOTESANDO HARAJUKU” and that’s because the avenue, which is a strip of shops and restaurants running on the towards the front of the building is Omotesando. The location of Omotesando is in the district of Harajuku located in Shibuya.
So, I guess the best way to explain this, using Manhattan, New York as an example:
New York = Tokyo
New York City = Shibuya
Manhattan = Harajuku
Fifth Avenue = Omotesando
