This. All food is good everywhere in Japan and the standard for everyday fashion is higher so there's good shopping everywhere. Look for tokyo haul youtube videos for ideas and maybe Google lists of 'recycle shops'
For shopping high fashion go to Ginza and Harajuku.
For all other shopping just go anywhere. Literally.

Depends on what you're shopping for, what's your style, how old you are, budget, etc.
Tokyo is the biggest city on Earth and also one of the richest, it turns out there are a lot of options for clothes shopping there.

If by "high fashion" you mean bootleg NBA/hip hop swag and other tacky shit.
The real answer is Ginza and Omotesando.
Also, there is a Japan General, people.
you should eat TENDON of KANEKO-HANNOSUKE at nihonbashi

Harajuku is a good place to start, generally. You've got Omotesando for your high end brands, Takeshita for cheap, younger brands (and the side streets of Takeshita for hip hop shit sold by Nigerians pretending to be from Brooklyn). And if you cross Meiji Dori you've got the little labyrinth of boutique designer shops all over the place. Their clothes are pretty expensive, but all one of a kinds that are a little more adventurous with their style than what you'd find elsewhere.
If you're into college age bohemian style stuff, go to Shimokitazawa and rummage through all the second hand stores there. They have some boutiques there, too, but they're mostly going for the same look that you'd get for 10% of the price in the second hand shops.

Wait are you one of those dumbasses that thinks that Harajuku is just that one tiny little street next to the Yamanote line station with all the crepes and mostly clothing for 13-17 year old girls on takeshita street? The main part of Harajuku has literally every single major brand plus a ton of smaller ones and its connected to Omotesando for even more high fashion.
