Top ways to experience Omotesando

The area

Address
Neighborhood: Shibuya / Harajuku / Ebisu
There are countless opportunities to shop in the Shibuya and Harajuku districts, especially in shops that focus on Japan's "Kawaii" culture. The trendiest areas are around Shibuya’s Center district, Harajuku's Takeshita-dori and in Omotesando. If you need to recharge from all the shopping, you can easily refresh yourself in Meiji Jingu or Sasaki Park. In contrast, Ebisu has a more grown up ambiance of calm and cool. At the Museum of Yebisu Beer you can learn about the beer that was responsible for the town’s name, and enjoy dining at the popular noodle shops in the surrounding area.

The other side of Ginza. Two temples of fashion and luxury - genres that as a rule do not interest me at all, to say the least -, but one is obvious, repetitive and all in all banal, while the long avenue Omote-sando puts its own spin on the genre, and decidedly more interesting: each of the big famous brands in the world has in fact had an ad hoc building built by the most celebrated architects, and some of the most daring solutions devised by the creators appear truly successful. So much so that even a despiser of consumerism (except for food, cinema and books) such as I consider myself was able to take the entire long walk with a certain pleasure.

Omotesando has two meanings. We will not talk here about the first, namely the eponymous department store, in the shape of a spiral, although it has its interest. We will only talk here about the second, namely the entire district, at the end of the "cat street", towards Harajuku, between Shibuya and Shinjuku. The interest is twofold. On the one hand, high-quality stores. On the other hand, the very sophisticated architecture of most of the large buildings which border the road.

This is not the only center of interest. As is often the case in Tokyo, there are staggering quantities of treasures hidden in the adjacent alleys and the different floors of the buildings. You have to dare to leave the main avenues!

The place were very crowded and very rewarding moment to go there. As we went there with our kids, they really enjoy the surrounding enviroment, especially during christmas time there were a lot of lights on the street. Definitely will go there again next time.

Omotesando is Tokyo's elegant boulevard, known for its upscale boutiques and architecturally striking facades. A leisurely stroll along this avenue is a treat for fashion enthusiasts and design lovers. While it caters to high-end shopping, it's equally enjoyable for window shopping and soaking in the artistic storefronts that make Omotesando a stylish urban experience.

Not planned to go but area recommended by the reception of our Hostel. Super pleasant street to go up to admire a beautiful, original and varied architecture. This leads us to Yoyogi park with Meiji Jingu Temple and nearby Takeshita Dori Street (packed with tourists).

I went here to look for second hand designer bags. There weee a couple of shops but mostly high end stores. If you’re looking for high end shopping you’ll love this place.
For us it felt like an expensive mall back home so we left pretty quickly.

This area has it all: a main street full of high end, name brand shops and a section of smaller, twisting streets with cool, hip boutique stores. On the main street, you'll enter massive flagship shops of Gucci, Marni, Prada, Apple, etc. There's a mall with restaurants, that are a little more upscale than casual. Be prepared to wait in line to eat, give yourself time. The stores are pretty amazing to enter, but these are all well known brands found throughout Tokyo. There are some smaller, backstreets where we found some really cool, unique boutique shops, full of designers we never heard of. Just walk around, find the street Liberty Walk and you're in the heart of it. There's a hedgehog cafe in the center, too. There are only a few restaurants here, so make sure to each before or after you shop. Stroll forever, the streets are calm and casual here. It's very near Harajuku, but that is more low-end, tourist shops and food.

Omotesando is a great shopping area in Tokyo. You'll find high-end stores like Louis Vuitton, YSL etc...

Also has a wonderful indoor multi-level mall. Very close to subway. Great for people watching.
