Q Plaza Harajuku

Opening in March along Meiji-dori, just a quick stroll south of the same developer's Tokyu Plaza, the latest must-see spot for Harajuku's hordes will house mainly clothing stores and cafés, along with a branch of New York hair salon Warren Tricomi, a restaurant/banquet hall and – you guessed it – Hawaiian-style pancake shops. Might want to stay away until a few months after the opening ceremony, as crowding is expected to be brutal.
