Pom Pom Purin cafe is located on the 3rd floor of Cute Cube Harajuku, on the popular Takeshita Street in Harajuku Tokyo. It is about 3 minutes walk from the JR Harajuku Station.
We visited in October 2014, the first day the Pom Pom Purin Cafe is opened to the public! There was a long line for the cafe and we had to wait over 2 hours. Fortunately the line is much more reasonable nowadays since more locations have been opened in Osaka, Nagoya, and Yokohama.
