Cat Street (the nickname for Kyū-Shibuya-gawa Yūhodōro, often shortened to "Yūhodō") is a famous fashion street that goes all the way from Harajuku, crosses Omotesando (where the Gyre shopping center is) and continues as a pedestrianized street to Miyashita-koen intersection in Shibuya. Cat Street was created over a now subterranean stream in 1964, at the time of the Tokyo Olympics. It is lined with exquisitely fashionable boutiques, and, especially from Omotesando westwards, where it becomes pedestrianized, Cat Street is a very pleasant alley to stroll along and take in what's hippest in Tokyo fashion.
