Each time hitting Tokyo, I definitely try first to get into the most exotic area called Shibuya for the most funny street Takeshit-Dori. A merry is not in a bad sense, but a bright, youth, multicolored, saturated with unusual colors and emotions. It is here that actual subcultures with a maximum concentration per square meter are concentrated. More nowhere in the world will not see such a richness of trendy styles, unpretentious fantasies, extraordinary costumes and makeup.
The easiest way to get here on the ring urban jr station to the station Harajuku. Coming out of the transition from the platform, you need to go through the road, and the meters of fifteen to the left will be the entrance to the legendary street. You can also take meters a hundred to the right from the station. There, on the bridge through the railway, companies are going to those who hang out in the area. Many of them willingly allow themselves to photograph or completely disinterestedly removed in an embrace with those who want to capture themselves in an unusual company by tourists.
But back on Takeshita Dori, the street of youth stores with unusual clothing and accessories. If you do not like the crowds and want to make purchases, then it is better to come on weekdays in the first half, because the rest of the time everything boils from the influx of thirsty enjoy the spirit of this unusual place. For practical shopping, I recommend a multi-storey store "100 yen" (about $ 1), where almost all goods have the specified price. Of course, you can't buy serious things there, but there is an interesting taste in oriental style, crafts from Onyx, local souvenirs that can be crushed familiar. It is from the left side not far from the main entrance.
I want to emphasize that the place is completely safe. There are practically no conflicts and pocket theft. The Japanese by themselves people are law-abiding, but here also are also vigilantly followed by representatives of private security structures hired by store owners.
