Harajuku is famous for a shopping street called Omotesando, which has been compared to Champs Elysees in Paris. We went to a couple souvenir stores. It was nice to walk along the street because there were many trees, which blocked the sun (it was a really hot day). The first shop we went to was Kiddyland. They sell pretty much every kind of Japanese toy or character you can think of. I found a bunch of Frozen stuff there and ended up getting a Frozen mug. :) The next store, Oriental Bazaar, is one I went to last year. They sell all kinds of Japanese souvenirs. It's geared towards foreigners. The cashier started to speak English to me and then switched to Japanese when I spoke some to her, haha.
Later in the day, we headed to the main-made island of Odaiba. There are many malls and museums on the island and it might be my favorite area of Tokyo. We went to one particular mall called Venus Fort, where I went last year, that has a couple floors made to look like a European city. We walked around the mall for a while and then had dinner at a katsudon (cutlet bowl) restaurant. I think it might have been the best katsudon I've ever had. :D Perfect end to the day!
