Closet Child Shinjuku: two floors of secondhand Gothic Lolita Punk clothes. Take the West exit of Shinjuku station, walk straight and go past the building with the clock. Look for the big sign above; the entrance is hard to find (it’s a small nook that leads to an elevator).

Marui One, the department store mecca, has four floors dedicated to Sweet and Gothic Lolita fashion. It’s a short walk from Shinjuku station; look out for the red 0101 sign!

HARAJUKU is ground zero for your favorite Goth Loli Punk individual stores. Above is a map, but I strongly recommend walking down Takeshita Doori (the main road from Harajuku Station), browsing the side streets, and then going around Meiji Doori and its tangents. Don’t worry too much about finding the shops; you’ll run into them on your journey!
