Shibuya 109

Shibuya 109, also referred to as Department 109, just plain "109", and Marukyu (meaning "o9" in Japanese), is the infamous fashion mecca for trend-savvy Japanese teens. This fabulous Shibuya-based shopping center is floor after floor of bright, sexy, over-the-top fashion trends- past and present. You will literally encounter multiple genres on each floor! It's quite a unique experience to stroll through there, and, from my perspective, is a must-do while in Tokyo!

A word of advice girls; leave the boyfriend at home. Unless it's a quick trip (which it won't be), he'd be better suited for a Gossip Girl marathon than this! My own boyfriend might not have survived this shopping experience if it weren't for the snacks I strategically stowed for him in my purse! True story.
