Design Festa Cafe & Bar

A café and bar attached to Sakuratei and the Design Festa Gallery, this spot adds to the quirky vibe at Harajuku's 'art village', which offers enough to see for almost an entire day. To find it, walk from Harajuku Station along Omotesando, and turn into the back streets of Ura-Harajuku. Navigating the narrow lanes, you'll soon come across a strange building supported by black metal pipes. You've reached Design Festa Gallery, which displays a fascinating jumble of art by anyone eager to express themselves. Found in the gallery's courtyard is this café and bar, which boasts a hidden garden terrace that'll make you forget all about your busy surroundings. Check out the pomegranate tree inside, admire art from the outside, or just strike up conversation about art and design over a ¥250 cup of coffee. You can also choose to savour some imported beer or light meals in the midst of all the art and greenery.
