With stunning design that features a vertical rooftop garden embedded into a reflective, geometric facade, the new Tokyu Plaza Harajuku Harakado shares aesthetic DNA with Tokyo Plaza Omotesando Harajuku directly opposite.
A total of 75 shops, restaurants, bars and other businesses can be found across Harakado’s nine above-ground and three basement levels. Mixed among the shopping opportunities are a number of cool experiences: some unique in this corner of the city, others unrivalled in all of Tokyo. The leafy rooftop garden combines with a giant, sun-inspired art installation to conjure a refreshing sense of wild nature, while an authentic sento bath brings retro vibes to this 21st-century development.
Harakado’s retail aspect too offers some pleasant surprises, including openings from some lesser-known names to watch, and a concept store dedicated to the safest of safe sex: the solo variety. You could spend a whole day at this fitting new addition to Harajuku-Omotesando, a district where cutting-edge architecture, youth culture and sleek luxury have long converged.
