Omotesandō is one of the most pleasant (and most expensive) neighborhoods in Tokyo. It’s a major luxury shopping destination (along with Ginza); it’s also home to some of the most amazing examples of human-scale modern architecture that you’ll find anywhere in the world.

Omotesandō neighbors the very famous area of Harajuku. In fact, the two kind of bleed into each other. One way to tell where you are: Harajuku is mostly filled with cheap shops that target a younger crowd, whereas Omotesandō is for a more luxurious spender.
