Shibuya 109

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa


Nicknamed marukyū, this cylindrical tower is a trend factory and teen institution. Inside are dozens of small boutiques, each with its own carefully styled look and competing soundtrack. Pose for photos with giant, pastel-coloured cupcakes and doughnuts in the top-floor studio Moreru Mignon.
