Prism Stone Harajuku (プリズムストーン原宿, Purizumu Sutōn Harajuku) is a fashion brand shop located in Omotesandō.
History
The building before construction
The reason for Prism Stone Harajuku's opening is unknown, however, the store's layout was decided by the manager of the store: Naru Ayase. Before opening, the store's owner, Chisato Ibara held an audition for middle school girls to claim the position of the manager. When Naru is selected to be the manager, she convinces Ann Fukuhara and Ito Suzuno to manage the Sweets Corner and Makeup Corner respectively. Though they were not popular immediately after opening, the store started gathering customers after its first Easter event. It has been currently enjoying its great success after customers saw the Prism Live at the Dreaming Session tournament and visit Prism Stone to see it again.
