Harajuku is the home of alternative, kawaii fashion in Tokyo. All the places I visited are along Takeshita Street, which is the main shopping street, or in side roads off it. They're all quite easy to find - rainbow snacks don't blend into the background! We tried half-metre-long tornado potatoes and rainbow cheese toast at Rainbow Sweets Harajuku, and spotted lots more: rainbow candy floss at Totti Candy Factory, lightbulb soda, poop ice cream, cute animal gelato, rainbow roll ice cream and Harajuku's traditional treats: delicious crepes! At the end of the video there's my theory about why there are so many cute snacks now, and what it tells us about how things are changing.
