"You can enjoy delicious shisha and also eat delicious food from the restaurant downstairs. The atmosphere of the shop is great, and I always have a good time getting to know the people there."

"The otaku staff member made me a delicious shisha. If you're looking for a heavier shisha, this is the only place in the Harajuku area."

"The night view is beautiful. The 10th floor has a DJ playing music, and the 11th floor is a bar where you can relax. The bartender, Clemént, made me a fantastic cocktail! It seems like a great place for a date!"

"I visited the Harajuku store for the first time! The interior was adorable, and the selection of products was more extensive than other stores, which really lifted my spirits. ✨ KAREN greeted me warmly and provided excellent customer service. She has a deep knowledge of the products! She was very skilled at suggesting products tailored to my skin "

"I was drawn in by the sign advertising 'European-style curry' during lunchtime. The curry I had was more like a home-style curry, making me wonder, "Is this really European-style?" A 'small' portion is free, while a 'large' portion is paid. The curry itself is very cheap, so I opted for the 'large' portion and was full afterwards. The owner wa"

"I stumbled upon this place and it was a great find. They have a taproom and offer light meals, so it's perfect for a quick drink while shopping or a post-dinner stop. They're open until 11 pm, so you can come by after a meal. The beer selection is impressive, ranging from domestic to international brews. They have some really cool labels that ma"

"A stylish, minimalist cafe that opened on November 23, 2023. I went an hour before closing time on a weekday, so it was relatively empty and I could relax. They also offer takeout, so it would be a great idea to buy something to take home as a souvenir. ◆ What I had: ◯ Whole Strawberry Shoe Macaron (Seasonal) ¥590 ◯ Blend Coffee ¥750 A whole str"

"I visited on a Sunday evening. Maybe because it was a slow time, the kitchen staff was loudly giving instructions. I even wondered if they were about to close. There were no skewers or chili pepper powder (shichimi) either… I could have asked for them, but still. And after I finished eating, they took away my plate… and even my chopsticks and small"

"This bar, with its cool master and laid-back atmosphere, is located in a quiet alleyway just off the corner of Harajuku Street (also known as Tonchan Street) near the Half Moon Bar. They have a wide selection of whiskeys, making it the perfect spot for a quiet and relaxing drink in Harajuku."

"Located just a few minutes' walk from Harajuku Station, this restaurant is a popular spot for enjoying delicious Italian food in a cozy atmosphere. **Exceptional Amatriciana** This dish features a rich tomato sauce made with pancetta and Awaji onions, simmered for three hours. The sauce clings perfectly to the chewy pasta, offering a spicy and f"

"I've been living abroad and haven't been back in a long time, but I recently visited the shop for the first time in about 20 years during a trip back to Japan. I was so touched that the manager remembered me. He's truly a model bartender. The shop still has the same calm atmosphere, perfect for a solo visit or a leisurely chat with friends. The foo"

"I don't smoke cigars at all, but I went in for the whiskey. It's perfectly fine to not order a cigar. They have a wide selection of whiskeys and rums. The interior has a luxurious feel and the staff were very polite."

"An art gallery and cafe located in Harajuku. It's a favorite spot of mine, always showcasing beautiful art exhibitions. I've visited several exhibitions here, and each one has been exceptional. It's a gallery that offers new discoveries with every visit. The cafe on the first floor serves delicious drinks. My personal recommendation is the grapefru"

"We made a reservation for 9 people and were able to enter smoothly. The food was all visually appealing and delicious, but I would have liked a bit more spice punch... I added hot sauce, haha. Since we could speak Spanish, our waiter was very cheerful and we had a lot of fun chatting with him! It was a really enjoyable experience. The "chulos c"

"Noga Hope is a long-established ramen shop known for its tonkotsu shoyu ramen. While this isn't the Harajuku branch, I've eaten here many times before. That's why I was disappointed with the taste. I wonder if they've switched to a central kitchen, as the broth was thin and the noodles were different. 🥲 The gyoza, however, is not recommended. It "

"I had an avocado lunch to fuel up before a live performance! The restaurant was super pop, retro, and incredibly cute!! The staff was also adorable, matching the atmosphere of the place. It seemed like a one-person operation, so ordering, serving dishes, water, and the soup bar were all self-service, but everything was clearly written out, so it wa"

"I dropped in around 5 PM, solo. It felt like a place frequented by regulars. The food was flavorful, perfect for pairing with drinks, though the portions were on the smaller side, suggesting it's more of a drinking spot. If you enjoy a nostalgic atmosphere, you'll likely love this place. I remember 1990s-2000s J-pop playing in the background. The"

"I stumbled upon this restaurant while walking through Takeshita Street! It's located in the basement, so there's a sense of excitement about where you're being taken. It's a hidden gem, and it might be hard to find! The seating capacity is quite small, so there's often a line. I ordered the oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl), and it was incredibl"
