Since
mayura_news is planning to go to Japan and spend some time in Harajuku, I made this little map taken from D-boys website to locate some fangirls main points. Since There's a crossover of fandoms, you'll see different kind of information~
Takeshita Dori, the Great :Anyway, when you're coming out for Harajuku Station (I don't remember if it's the JR one or not) you'll have a tiny street in front of you but maybe overcrowded~ There'll be Johnny's non Official Shops and Indio (where they sell Russ-K clothes) nice little shops with lots of accessories and crepes stores ♥
To La Forêt, the Even Greatest :Arriving at the end of the street, on your right, you'll go toward
Shibuya and you'll walk to a big crossroad where there's a huge Laforet building (you happen to see this crossroad in many dramas such as Ryusei no Kizuna).
To Out of Order, the Marvellous :In front of
La foret, there's a
GAP (and many some Big Black Gothic Lolita dressed Cats giving you flyers, take care ! xD), go down, you'll pass next to
Lawson, and then take the street on your left before Mac Donald's, you'll be at
Out of Order Shop. Take me some damn Zukki pics when you're there ! XD (humhum...)
To the Souvenir Shop, the EasyHandy~ :As you've bought lots of useless but vital D-Boys Stuff, cross the road and go back to La Forêt's Crossroad. There's a Big shop there that sells postcards, that's a little tip since I've been looking for postcards while the whole trip but could find any. I bought some but never send them xD;;; Anyway, it's a Souvenir Shop, you might find interesting things (Not as much as Kyoto Tower's Shops though XD).
To Russ-K Main Shop, the Hidden (xD) :Then there'll a Dior (beware of French Women who are arrogant there, I couldn't stand the rich-and-bitch woman that went out of the shop saying "This dress is sooooo expensive, I could have bought it sooooo much cheaper in Paris." Well, that's because Japan is an island without Dior manufactury, you bitch...) and then you'll find a
Kangol shop (yes the hats shop), take the little street and go forward, you'll arrive at a shop "Modern Amusement" It has a black background while an orange bird on it. Go upstairs and this will be the main Russ-K Shop in Tokyo.
aanjali & me spend about 2 hours to find out the Kangol shop, going up and down the street XD, it's a really tiny place. It's an Indio seller who told us, "Go to the Kangol Shop and go down the street, it'll be there". We thought it'd be a big shop but no, it was the tiniest shop of the street... :D;;; XD
To Shibuya, the Final Goal ~Will you find the hidden Book Off ?!~ :I don't remember the street that much BUT when you'll go toward Shibuya from the crossroad, do not take the main street but some on the left, there'll be a TV Studio at a corner and a huuuuge Book Off nearby. Just Enjoy~
Go to Karaoke, Mac Donald, StarBuck, Shibuya 109, Tokyu Hands (♥♥♥), Tower Records, anything you like 8D.
I think that already too many people posted when, how, when to go to Shibuya's Johnny's Shop so I won't repeat it once again xD
Just follow the girls crowd up JR Harajuku's Station plazza, go to the little street in front of it and take a ticket given by the staff if you're not too late and go back waiting onto the plazza.
And since I'm not a GPS nor an trip advicer. Just go your own way to discover things by yourself~ It's even funnier \o/
