One day in Harajuku & Omotesando: forest paths, Cat Street and Japanese tea

This is TRUNK(HOTEL) CAT STREET, not the separate TRUNK property by Yoyogi Park. In the Jingumae lanes between Harajuku and Shibuya, it suits travellers who want coffee, fashion and dinner around their base. Its appeal is design and neighbourhood atmosphere rather than the shortest luggage walk from a station exit.

Compare the exact room size, beds and occupancy. Spacious suite photographs do not describe every room. The room image below is an archival photograph from 2018; confirm current furnishings and the booked room with the hotel.

Plan the approach from your actual arrival station, especially with large bags or a late arrival. I would shortlist it for travellers prioritising design and allowing a higher lodging budget, rather than booking solely because it is near Harajuku.

Check that your booking says CAT STREET. This is a separate lodging option, not a required sightseeing stop.

5-31 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo

Dormy Inn Premium Shibuya Jingumae suits travellers combining Harajuku and Shibuya who value a bath after walking. The official hotel lists separate men’s and women’s baths with sauna facilities, a practical distinction when comparing accommodation.

It is not immediately outside Harajuku Station. Check your actual arrival exit and allow extra time with luggage. Compare room and bed types, smoking arrangements and breakfast inclusion. The second photo shows nearby Meiji-dori streetscape, not the hotel interior or a room view.

I would suggest it for travellers prioritising practical facilities between two shopping areas. Ask the hotel in advance about bath rules for tattoos, children or health concerns rather than discovering an unsuitable restriction after arrival.

Standard official check-in is 15:00 and check-out 11:00; plans may differ. Check bath opening and cleaning times separately.
