Kura Sushi Global Flagship Store Harajuku
SaveA 245-seat conveyor-belt sushi restaurant with an open-air deck over the city.
A sweets stall inside the restaurant makes crepes sold nowhere else.
MoreWhat kind of place
This is the third of Kura Sushi's global flagship stores, a 245-seat conveyor-belt restaurant the company calls a showcase of Japanese culture.
Creative director Kashiwa Sato oversaw the interior, a modern Japanese design built around the pairing of sushi and sweets.
The sweets half of that pairing is a stall inside the restaurant, the home base for KURA ROYAL, Kura Sushi's dessert brand, where crepes are made to order from 280 yen and sold at no other branch.

With kidsThe part that matters
In Harajuku, sitting down to eat with small kids can mean a wait and a menu nobody agrees on. Here the sushi comes past on a belt, so a child can watch it go by and take what they want, from 150 yen a plate.
You can book a seat online without creating an account, and an elevator runs up to the fourth floor, so you arrive at your time and go straight up.
The official store page lists a multi-purpose restroom, the large wheelchair-accessible stall, but says nothing about a changing table, so you cannot count on one here.
When the meal is done, dessert is right there: a sweets stall inside makes crepes to order, and the balcony outside looks out over the city.

A stall inside sells the chain's sweets brand, KURA ROYAL, with crepes made to order and sold at no other branch. An outdoor balcony in the same style looks over the city. Orders can be placed from a phone.
