This is my new favourite shopping destination in Tokyo. If you like shopping for vintage, antiques or quirky stuff then this is the place to go. I bought two rare vintage Pez dispensers (Star Wars and Road runner) and vintage Imari ware at really reasonable prices. Stock changes regularly so it’s best if you can revisit again. The sign is on the street and then you need to go down flights of stairs to the basement but keep going, it’s worth it. There is a cafe halfway down the stairs. I’ve seen the hey also have a shop in Maronouchi and Kyoto (been to that shop too... it’s awesome). Love it...it’s a must for serious shoppers!

Browse through both well-known international brand outposts and less mainstream shops on this street. Unlike the rest of Shibuya, this shopping street is quiet and relaxed.

Originally got the idea to visit this place from a guy I follow on YouTube that lives in Japan. Enjoyed the shops but I truly enjoyed taking the side streets. Really beautiful area and you'll find interesting small restaurants and shops off the main path.

Apart from the TOP Photographic Art Museum there is a lot Yebisu Garden offered when I was there shortly before X-mas. First of all there was a nice market place selling all kinds of local and rural products. Secondly at the day I was there, there was a Gospel Chior Festival taking place, which produced some very nice music by various gospel choirs the whole day through. And of course there was the always present X-mas chandelier, X-mas lighting in the surrounding trees as well as the beautiful decorated X-mas tree. All in all a lot to see and experience within a very confined and beautiful location. Yebisu remains one of my most favourite areas to visit in Tokyo during the X-mas period although this time I was there only during daytime so I missed out on the winter illuminations.

This popular street in Harajuku is known for wacky, youth-driven shops selling colorful and crazy clothes and accessories. It's also a paradise for sweets-lovers - don't miss the fluffy, sugary crepes.

Takeshita Street (Dori) is a fun place to visit. Interesting shops, great waffle ice cream cones, make an animal shaped ice cream cone, eat tradintional fun far out food, crazy sized fairy floss, eat at Wolfgang Pucks (can be a little pricey). Close to shopping street at the end of the road, just a short train ride from Shinjuku on the way to Shibuya or spend the morning at Yoyogi PArk and see the Meiji Shrine and then eat and have fun in Takeshita Street. (We did it both ways). We loved this place and would love to go back again.

Great atmosphere was designed by famous architect Tado Ando. Impressive vertical line and access to different floors solved by some ramps and nice escalator. Boutiques are top brands and few good restaurants. Worth a visit especially if you are architect or love architecture.

This shopping mall near the Shibuya Scramble is the best place to go for unique and girly Japanese fashion. Shoes, clothes, costumes, beauty products, accessories, and food are all on offer.

With a central location in the heart of Shibuya, this is a go-to place for younger women who want to shop trendy and generally affordable clothing. It has a very cute interior, is clean and easy to navigate, and has lots of bathrooms. Staff is friendly and eager to help. For men, it doesn't offer much, but as a young woman I was fascinated by this place.

Loved this "alternative" department store in the Shibuya area. We started at the bottom and worked our way up. There are scores of small "shops" that cater to wildly different styles and tastes - all of it for a trendy and young demographic. From 19th century-inspired capes to corsets and kinky leather, it's all here. This is where you can really get a sense of the depth and breadth of Tokyo's fashion scene.
