Then you enter this shop you will find a lot of Snoopy paraphernalia, which includes Snoppy cups and plates, suitcases and wallets, cloths and toys, stationary items and many more.

Takeshita Dori
This street you should visit on a weekday when it maybe a bit less clouded.
It is located just opposite the JR Harajuku Station Exit. Here you will find many small shops and boutiques with cheap and trendy cloths, which are so loved by Japanese young people. And if you are tiered you can always rest at the many café’s and restaurants this street has to offer.

In reason years the trend of 100 Yen shops in Japan is growing rapidly, I personally love them as well, because you can by pretty good quality items in a very cheap price. This shop is located on the left side of Takeshita Dori (it is about 5th shop on the left, from the entrance of the street), just look for this logo

This shop has 4 floors in which you can find around 90,000 products - food and beverages, stationary products, home cleaning materials, gorgeous china, cosmetics, cloths and many more.
If you don’t care that the souvenirs you bring home will not be made in Japan, then here is a good place to buy a sake sets, tee sets and puts (100 Yen for each piece in the set), chopsticks, fans, decorative lanterns (in the parties section), calligraphy paper and brushes.
Note that some of the items may cost more than 100 Yen, but then on this item will be a sticker that indicated the price.

LaForet Harajuku

LaForet is a Harajuku landmark and the launching pad for the latest Japanese fashion trends. On many floors of this shop you will find mostly Japanese designer’s cloths, shoes and hats, very unique, and very different from what might have seen in the other shops. In my opinion you must visit this place for one more reason – if you ever wondered where the Harajuku girls get their outfits you will definitely get the answer here. In lower floors of this mall you can find shops that sell gothic cloth and the next shop sells puffy, flowery dresses that you probably have seen on your doll as a child, so if you missed the Harajuku young people on the bridge near Meiji-Jingumae station you can see enough of them here.

Condomaniya
Just across the LaForet Harajuku you will see a small shop that sales – yes, you geest right, mostly condoms of all shapes and flavors. Here you can find condoms with samurai and geisha pictures on them – another nice Japanese “souvenir” to bring home.
