Direct answer
Use Harajuku for a mixed first day: begin with designer resale around Omotesando and Meiji-jingumae, then narrow toward archive specialists, denim, streetwear, or budget chains. Allow four to five hours for one focused loop.
Plan from the neighborhood out
Harajuku compresses several Tokyo shopping modes into one walkable area. That makes it convenient, but it also makes unfocused browsing expensive in time. Choose luxury and streetwear or archive specialists as the day’s spine.
The current seed contains two distinct Harajuku guides. The stop list combines their editorial intent without claiming that every shop or price tier is current.
Current editorial route
Harajuku Luxury + Streetwear: Free in app · 4-5 hr · Omotesando to Harajuku. Compact route around Omotesando, Meiji-jingumae, and Harajuku. Skip luxury stops if you want a budget-only loop.
Harajuku Archive Specialists: Paid in app · 3-4 hr · Meiji-jingumae to Harajuku. These shops are smaller and sometimes upstairs or basement-level; verify hours before heading out.
Public sample: each paid in-app route contributes only its first 3 sample stops here. The complete paid ordering remains inside Vintokyo.
