From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Takeshita Street (竹下街) is a pedestrian-only street lined with fashion boutiques, cafes and restuarants in Harajuku in Tokyo, Japan. Stores on Takeshita Street include major chains such as The Body Shop, but most of the businesses are small independants that carry an array of styles.
Located directly across from JR Harajuku Station, Takeshita Street is popular with young people, particularly those interested in cosplay ("costume play"), who gather on Sundays at the entrance to Yoyogi Park.
