Are you ready to be awestruck by nature’s own masterpiece?

Beyond Japan Yellow Spring Road video, those are Gingko trees, who paint the world in a mesmerizing shade of yellow, creating a symphony of colors that beckon every autumn explorer.

My Japan List - Tokyo

The Kawaii district — with the latest youth fashion and food — makes you believe it may have come from space. The cuteness overload is enough for Professor X to create an army of Powerpuff Girls. If you want to know where Japan’s kawaii culture began, I say it started here.

From spaceship saucer-shaped cotton candy to rainbow grilled cheese, you think it is part of a Care Bears’ food group pyramid and the poop ice cream (do not worry, it is not real poop). It is a given why I see it as another planet to visit. Nevertheless, I can not forget its divergent twin: Omotesando. While Harajuku is about the cute scene, Omotesando has a chic-style scene and coffee shops. Both night and day of the two, Omotesando is right on the line of Cat Street.

Both Harajuku and Omotesando have what I enjoy the most: history, traditional culture, and food — especially the food. There are many places to visit and hidden spots (even if Omotesando is more on the luxury side). 

Let’s begin!

Omotesandō Station, 3 Chome-6 Kita-Aoyama, Minato City, Tokyo, Japan

Harajuku Street, 3 Chome-28 Jingumae, Shibuya City, Tokyo, Japan

Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Avenue

It is beautiful to see the trees in the fall, like golden statues that light up. From the end of November to December, the golden pillars shine bright at night.
