Today, I went to a taco restaurant in Harajuku;) There are many hidden taco restaurants in Urahara, which sells various vintage clothes. I went to a taco restaurant called ‘TACOS 3HERMANOS 原宿’ located in an alley. There is only one menu here, tacos. The only difference is whether the meat is beef or pork? It's a bit pricey at around 2000 yen for 5 pieces When you eat it, all your worries about the price will disappear You can taste the local Mexican flavors😋 For reference, I ate both beef and pork I liked the beef more👀 If you want to taste the local Mexican flavors, you should definitely visit this restaurant✨ 📍TACOS 3HERMANOS 原宿 〒150-0001 Tokyo, Shibuya, Jingumae, 3 Chome−26−5 URAHARA CENTRAL APARTMENT102 ・Opening hours: 11:00-21:30 ・Nearest station: 10-minute walk from Harajuku Station #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Tokyo travel #Tokyo #Harajuku #Harajuku restaurants

It's still such a hidden gem,,!! "purple coffee" is a shop in Harajuku that just opened on 4/12 where you can enjoy thick Greek yogurt🥣 You can choose between 40% and 70% thick, but personally I prefer the 70% because it's more dehydrated and fills you up and is tastier!! It's full of fruit and is incredibly delicious,, You should definitely go before it becomes popular and crowded💨 #enjoyjapan #gaienmaecafe#omotesandocafe#harajukucafe#uraharacafe#shibuyacafe#gaienmaefood#omotesandofood

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Harajuku is the epicenter of Tokyo's trends and fashion, with a variety of famous stores and brands complementing each other, making it a dazzling place. Walking along Takeshita Street, you will see colorful shops standing side by side. Fashionable clothes, unique accessories, and various creative designs attract many young people and tourists. Every store here has its own characteristics, whether it is street style or high-end brands, they all show Tokyo's unique fashion culture. On this lively street you can find the latest trends, limited edition items and even independent pieces from designers, so there is something for everyone. Harajuku fashion is not limited to clothing, but also includes street art and culture. Graffiti and creative installations can be found everywhere, adding vitality and creativity to the area. Every corner is a great place to take photos, making people want to record this unique atmosphere. Harajuku is the epitome of Tokyo fashion. Whether you are a fashion lover or a simple tourist, this

The hedgehogs at Harajuku Harry’s were such wriggly creatures that I worried more about accidentally dropping them than being pricked by their sharp spines 😅 That being said, I still adore these cute little ones who are often misunderstood when they are actually just small mammals with unique behaviors and needs 🦔 ❤️

Red Rock is a Japanese roast beef rice bowl specialty restaurant famous not only among Japanese locals but also among tourists. 📍 Store information Location: Tokyo Harajuku (東京都渋谷区神宮前3-25-12 フジビル B1F) Atmosphere: Casual bar style that is comfortable for eating alone Ordering method: Easy kiosk! (Korean is also available) Opening hours: 11:30 ~ 21:30 🥩 Menu ① Roast beef rice bowl Impactful from the visuals! Thin and soft roast beef is piled on top of rice like a mountain. On top of that, a half-boiled egg🍳 is placed, and the rich mayonnaise-style sauce and special soy sauce-based sauce are harmoniously combined. The meat has no gamey smell at all and is really tender. The sweet and salty sauce connects the meat and rice well, and the egg yolk adds savory flavor, making it a perfect match! Since there is a little less rice, it may not be enough for a single dish, but it is perfect for a meal without feeling burdened! (The cracked egg is regular size, and the one in focus at the back is large size! There is definitely a difference in the height of the meat hehe) 🥩Menu ② Steak Bowl The taste of steak is right! This time, I wanted to feel a little different, so I also ordered the steak bowl. While the roast beef is soft and thin, the steak bowl has thick pieces of meat that really bring out the chewy taste. The steak is cooked to medium, so it is full of juice, and if you like the rich taste of meat, you might like this better. The sauce is slightly saltier than the roast beef, so it is perfect to eat with rice. 🥊 Steak Bowl VS Roast Beef Bowl Roast Beef Bowl: Soft and sweet balance, melts in your mouth! Steak Donburi: Thick meat texture and juicy explosion, recommended for meat lovers! ✨A small tip ⏰ Waiting: Since it's a famous place, the line is quite long during peak lunch/dinner hours! I think the Harajuku branch has the longest waiting time. Since it's a chain, if you don't like waiting, I recommend the one at Takadanobaba Station! 🍽️ Value for money: Average to slightly high by Japanese standards? But it's still delicious, so it's okay 👣 Good for eating alone: ​​The interior is great for eating alone!

#0yentravel While walking from Harajuku to Shibuya, I discovered a stylish coffee shop!!

La Fay Delice is a hidden restaurant located on a side street off Cat Street. The bright red world is reminiscent of the French movie "Amelie," but this place has been around since before the movie was released. I ordered the lunch course, which includes both a savory galette and a dessert crepe. It goes well with cider. A noble taste that really brings out the apple juice, unlike regular apple juice. I was surprised when I ate the galette crepe back then that even though it looks similar, it has a completely different texture. I recommend it when you want to feel France. 🇫🇷 📍Address: 5-11-13 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-20:00 (closed on Mondays) #0 yen trip

A restaurant where you can eat Vietnamese soul food banh mi □ Banh mi ☆ Sandwich 📍 Harajuku, Tokyo A 5-minute walk from JR Harajuku Station, in front of Tokyo Metro Meiji-Jingumae Station, in the food court on the 6th floor of Harakado, there is a restaurant where you can easily eat Vietnamese soul food banh mi. Shrimp Avocado Banh Mi It's a hard bread like French bread, but the inside is chewy and really delicious! In addition to shrimp and avocado, the inside also contains pickled radish, carrots, and coriander. The sauce was a sour creamy type. When sightseeing in Tokyo or shopping in Harajuku, be sure to try the easy-to-eat banh mi! #0 yen travel #Harajuku #Tokyo trip #Vietnamese food 📍Address: 6F Tokyu Plaza Harajuku "Harakado", 6-31-21 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001

The best Italian gelato □Giolitti Tokyu Plaza Harajuku Harakado 📍Harajuku, Tokyo A 5-minute walk from JR Harajuku Station and right in front of Tokyo Metro Meiji-Jingumae Station, in the food court of "Harakado", there is a shop where you can taste authentic Italian gelato. Mango & Coconut Mixed Berry & Coconut The mango is rich and creamy and very delicious. The mixed berry is also very sour and perfect for summer. The coconut has a firm texture and a gentle taste. All the flavors were as delicious as or even better than the gelato I had in Italy, so be sure to stop by during your Tokyo sightseeing! #0yentrip #Tokyotrip #Harajuku #Gelato #Harakado #Cafe 📍Address: 6F Tokyu Plaza Harajuku "Harakado", 6-31-21 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001

Korean shaved ice! Bingsu specialty store □Solbin Cafe Harajuku 📍Harajuku, Tokyo About a 7-minute walk from JR Harajuku Station I went to Solbin, a Korean chain store that specializes in Korean shaved ice, bingsu. Unlike Japanese shaved ice, Solbin's bingsu is made by shaving milk ice, so it is pre-flavored. Fresh strawberry Solbin Candy muscat tea Solbin is topped with plenty of strawberries and has red bean paste inside. The strawberries matched well with the mellow milk ice, and it was very delicious. The muscat tea was also fragrant and soothed my cold body. I recommend it when you want to cool down after eating fruit-filled bingsu! #0 yen trip #shaved ice #Korean food #Harajuku #cafe 📍Address: Re-Belle Harajuku, 2F, 4-31-11 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001

I had been looking forward to the opening of this long-established cafe in France that I had given up on because of the queue, but was now in Tokyo. Maybe because it was a rainy day, I was able to get in right away. This shop is located in "Harakado", a new shopping mall in Harajuku. I was excited to see the Mont Blanc lined up in the display case🌰 Of course, I had it with chocolat chaud🍫 The chocolat chaud came in a pot that was enough for two cups and a generous amount of fresh cream🫖 It was so French that it made my heart flutter🎶 The Mont Blanc didn't have much of a chestnut flavor. It was quite sweet, and the kind of taste the French would like. It was stuffed with a generous amount of cream inside. I really liked the taste♡ 📍Address: 2nd floor, Tokyu Plaza Harajuku "Harakado", 6-31-21 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001 🕰️Opening hours: 11:00-21:00 #0yentravel #Harakado #Harajuku #Harajukucafe #Frenchpastry

Elegant Teatime in a Stylish Space □VAT BAKERY 📍Tokyo, Omotesando, Harajuku About a 2-minute walk from Meiji-Jingumae Station on the Tokyo Metro. It is located on a main street in the Harajuku/Omotesando area, but at first glance it looks like a fashion building, so the shop was relatively empty. All the seats are sofa seats, so you can relax. Cinnamon roll Peach juice Because it is a bakery, they sell danishes and donuts, so this time I ordered a cinnamon roll. It had a strong cinnamon scent and was just the right amount of sweet and delicious. The peach juice is also rich and recommended. When you are tired from sightseeing or shopping in Tokyo, please spend an elegant tea time at this cafe. #0 yen trip #Omotesando #cafe #Tokyo trip 📍Address: 6-1-9 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0001

#SeasonalEvent I went to Loewe's first large-scale exhibition. The exhibition traces the history of the brand from its founding in 1846 as a workshop for leather craftsmen to its development into a global brand through various products and artworks. You can enjoy various content such as collaborations with Ghibli and Picasso, and an exhibition that recreates the workshop. There were many highlights, from classic bags to leather objects that can only be seen at exhibitions. You need at least two hours. There is also a shop where you can purchase products. However, you can only stay for 15 minutes. My personal impression is that you can't make an instant decision on hundreds of thousands of products in 15 minutes😂 This is a must-see for Ghibli, Picasso, and Loewe fans, so if you're visiting Tokyo during Golden Week, be sure to stop by! Dates: March 29th (Sat) to May 11th (Sun)Location: 6-35-6 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, TokyoAdmission: Free. Advance reservations are required for tickets! You can reserve on LINE! #Loewe exhibition #art exhibition #exhibition

#cherryblossom25 We enjoyed the sakura view at Harajuku, where the vibrant energy of the district blended beautifully with the calm elegance of cherry blossoms. As we walked through the lively streets, we found pockets of quiet where sakura trees stood in full bloom, their soft petals offering a peaceful contrast to the colorful shops and bustling crowds. Near Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park, the cherry blossoms created a picturesque canopy, casting gentle shadows on the paths below. Locals and tourists alike paused to admire the scene, snapping photos and enjoying the moment. Surrounded by both tradition and trend, the sakura at Harajuku felt uniquely magical and truly unforgettable.

It seems that they will be gone by May, so come quickly if you want to go!

Idolmaster SideM × FiFS Illustration Exhibition "Three One Five" VOL.5 I went to an illustration exhibition for Idolmaster SideM, a content I personally love!

#earthdayjourney #animalcafe #travel #japan_vacation Stepping into Mipig Harajuku felt like entering a world of adorable chaos! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by these tiny, fluffy piglets running around, playfully snuffling and interacting with visitors. The space was cozy, filled with pastel colors and an atmosphere that felt like stepping into a whimsical dream. Interacting with the pigs was the highlight of the experience. They were so friendly and curious, nudging up to visitors for pets or a quick cuddle. The staff ensured that the pigs were comfortable and well cared for, making the visit not just fun but also heartwarming. I even had the chance to feed them little snacks, which made the whole experience even more delightful.

Had one of the best ramen in Tokyo; Harajuku. This is my second time at this ramen shop and I will definitely be back again for the amazing pork broth, tender and melt in the mouth pork. The broth was rich and flavourful. We couldn’t leave the shop without asking for an additional serving of noodles!!! If this was not enough, you may also choose to buy their instant ramen for takeaway to be cooked any time.
