Off to Tokyo in a few hours! I’ll be making the rounds at kitschy theme restaurants; I'm shooting photos and writing about my adventures for my upcoming book with Mark Batty Publisher. (Look for it in March 2009.) Naturally, I'll spend my down-time pressing my nose into Harajuku store windows, like the ones above…
EDIT: I removed the original maps due to request. Instead, here is an image from Sumire's guide to Tokyo Lolita shopping.
Kokusyoku Sumire’s gosurori-themed café is on my list of places to shoot. I'll have to hold onto my yen when I visit Atelier Boz and Alice Auaa.
Can you suggest other Gothic Lolita stores that I must visit? What are your favorite Tokyo shops? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll be sure to check them out.
