Perché vale la deviazione

The fashionable pedestrian lane between Shibuya and Omotesando follows a section of the old Shibuya River, covered around the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Houses originally turned their backs toward the water; once the channel became a street, former rear walls and service entrances were gradually transformed into shopfronts.

Cat Street is a trendy pedestrian street in Tokyo, connecting Shibuya and Omotesando. It's a hub for street fashion and unique shops, offering a glimpse into Tokyo's urban aesthetic.
