A walk along Takeshita Street and around Harajuku in Tokyo, spotting what's changed since before 2020: new shops, construction, and what's different.

📗 MINI GUIDE TO KAWAII TOKYO: https://cakeswithfaces.co.uk/product/...

Harajuku's always been the centre of kawaii, cute fashion in Tokyo. However, it's definitely changed over the years. As it's become more popular with tourists, I've noticed more and more cute, rainbow snacks and less alternative clothing shops. Now there's more gachapon, more souvenir stalls and more corporate shops instead of the indie fashion stores that used to be there. In the video we take a walk along the main shopping street, Takeshita Dori, as well as the backstreets of Uraharajuku, Kiddyland, Togo Shrine, the new Harajuku Station and visit the TeamLab installation at the Galaxy Store.

Filmed in February 2023.
