Hotels in Harajuku, Tokyo

Harajuku is the heart of Tokyo's youth and street fashion — the boutiques and crêpe stands of Takeshita Street, the high-end labels of Omotesandō, and quirky pockets of kawaii culture, all beside the tranquil forest and grand torii of the Meiji Shrine. The contrast of frenetic fashion and serene shrine is pure Tokyo. Central and well-connected, it's walkable to Shibuya. It suits style-minded and younger travellers who want creativity, shopping and people-watching by day, though it's quieter at night than Shibuya or Shinjuku. For trend-spotting Tokyo with a green escape next door, stay in Harajuku.
