Centrally anchored by Takeshita Street, this narrow pedestrian artery runs north from Harajuku Station and has served as the epicenter of Japanese youth fashion since the early 20th century. The ensemble includes the parallel Omotesando, a wide, tree-lined avenue historically modeled after the Champs-Élysées, which now features contemporary architectural landmarks such as the Prada building designed by Tadao Ando.
