Every stop is full of surprises that will definitely make you scream! Grab your camera and capture every color of Tokyo! 📸😍 Morning: Ikebukuro 🌆 Ikebukuro is Tokyo’s anime and subculture center, with a history dating back to the late 19th century, when it gradually prospered as a railway hub! Today, it is known as the "Holy Land of Anime", with countless anime stores, theme cafes and landmarks such as Sunshine City, attracting fans from all over the world to make a pilgrimage! Especially "Otome Road", the full range of anime products for women is dazzling! 🎮Check-in spot: "Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo" in Sunshine City, the Pikachu statue at the entrance is super cute! Or take a photo of the anime poster wall at Otome Road and let your fan soul burn! ⚡️📷Transportation: Take the JR Yamanote Line, Subway Marunouchi Line or Yurakucho Line to "Ikebukuro Station", and walk about 5 minutes from the east exit to the anime area! 🚇 Noon: Kiddy Land Harajuku Store 🧸Kiddy Land is the most representative toy store in Japan. It was founded in 1946, and the Harajuku store is a paradise for cartoon fans! From Hello Kitty to Snoopy, from Ghibli to Disney, every floor here is filled with cute peripherals! Since it entered Harajuku in the 1960s, it has become a part of fashion culture and its charm remains undiminished to this day! 🎀Check-in spot: The Kiddy Land sign outside the store, the colorful logo is super eye-catching! Or you can take a photo holding a giant Kitty at the Sanrio area on the first floor, which is super cute! 😻📸Transportation: Take the JR Yamanote Line from Ikebukuro Station to Harajuku Station and walk for about 5 minutes, or take the Subway Fukutoshin Line to Meiji Jingumae Station and walk for 3 minutes! 🚆Lunch recommendation: There is a "Kawaii Monster Cafe" nearby (if it is still open) or just grab a Harajuku crepe and eat it while walking, it's super chill! 🥞 Afternoon: Laforet Harajuku 🖤Laforet Harajuku is a trendy landmark in Tokyo. Since its opening in 1978, it has always been a weathervane of Japanese street fashion! This department store brings together a variety of independent brands such as Gothic, Lolita, Harajuku, and there are also limited-time Pop-up stores to keep you fresh at all times! The "Laforet Museum" in the basement often hosts fashion exhibitions, a must-visit for hipsters! 👗Check-in spot: Laforet's silver exterior, take a futuristic street shot! Or try them on in a Lolita brand store and transform yourself into a Japanese princess! 👑📷Transportation: Walk about 3 minutes from Kiddy Land and go straight to Laforet Harajuku along Omotesando! 🚶♀️ Dusk: Takeshita Street 🌈Takeshita Street is the soul of Harajuku. It originated in the 1970s, when young people began to open independent clothing stores on this narrow street, laying the foundation for the "Harajuku" culture! Today, it’s synonymous with rainbow crepes, kawaii clothing and youthful energy, and the crowds are still bustling and full of energy at dusk! 🌟Check-in spot: The pink sign at the entrance of Takeshita Street, with the background full of store lights, is super atmospheric! Or grab a giant marshmallow and take a funny photo! 🍬📸Transportation: Walk about 2 minutes from Laforet and go straight to the Takeshita-dori entrance in the direction of Harajuku Station! 🚶♂️ Tips 1. There are so many products in the Ikebukuro anime store, make a list to avoid buying out of control! 🛒 2. Kiddy Land is very popular, so it is recommended to avoid going there during the weekends when you can relax and have a more enjoyable time! 😉 3. Some small Laforet stores do not accept try-ons, so remember to ask the store clerk before taking photos! 📷 4. Takeshita Street is crowded at night, so pay attention to your belongings and don’t be distracted by cuteness! 😺 #TokyoDayTour #IkebukuroAnime #KiddyLand #HarajukuLaforet #TakeshitaDori #TokyoTrendy #AnimeHolyLand #HarajukuHipster #TokyoCheck-in #JapanTravel #TokyoTravel #JapaneseHipster #TokyoItinerary
