I had been looking forward to visiting the “Hideaway”, a hippy-run cafe located in a treehouse in the heart of Harajuku. But when I finally got there, it appeared to be closed.
As so often in Tokyo, finding the venue was an ordeal but when I finally located it I realised that it was fact right next to the store whose name I considered borrowing for this blog back in 2008: Banal Chic Bizarre.
Sadly though as you can see from the photo above, the actual “treehouse” has been removed, as shown below in photos I found here.
Instead I ended up eating around the corner, at a restaurant that served avocado cuisine (everything had avocadoes in it) and played great, deep house music.

I was there a couple of weeks ago with a friend but it had been closed. I should have updated my blog really! RIP cute little cafe! I have passed that avocado place many times but never been in. Thanks for the review!
