Detailed picks
Vintage
Second-hand and pre-owned luxury shops by neighbourhood, with the brands you find in each.
28 shops in 1 cities. Every place that comes from an itinerary links to its full day.
Tokyo
28 shopsAMORE Vintage Aoyama
A mecca of luxury vintage in Tokyo: Chanel, Hermès and Dior in a quantity that is hard to find in one place. The prices are high, but the items are authentic and checked. In the Omotesando area.
QOO Vintage Omotesando
A three-floor secondhand luxury store: the basement is all Hermès, and the floors above carry Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Cartier and more. Tax-free, and no bargaining.
RAGTAG Shimokitazawa
A branch of a used designer clothing chain, on two floors: women downstairs, men upstairs. The chain says prices are 50 to 80 percent below the original.
Flamingo Shimokitazawa
A secondhand clothing shop of the Flamingo chain, mostly from the US and Europe, for men and women. It also has accessories, bags and a house label. The same company runs four more shops in the neighborhood.
2nd Street Shimokitazawa
Japan's most reliable secondhand chain. This branch benefits from the area, so the stock is better than average. Fair prices and orderly sorting, good for a start.
KINJI Harajuku
A huge basement next to Cat Street with an enormous stock. You can spend an hour in it and leave with nothing, or find an excellent piece. It takes patience for digging.
New York Joe Exchange Shimokitazawa
A secondhand shop on the site of a former public bathhouse, buying from anyone who brings clothes in. Every item is up to ¥10,890, with an average of ¥2,000 to ¥3,000. On the first Sunday of each month everything is half price.
BAZZSTORE Shimokitazawa
The lowest prices in the area, most items between ¥1,000 and ¥5,000. A large stock and rough sorting, so this is the place for digging and not for a quick purchase.
Chicago Harajuku
A long-standing institution in Tokyo. Americana and sports shirts, plus a large rack of used kimono and yukata at low prices, and that is the main reason to come.
RAGTAG Harajuku (Cat Street)
A multi-story branch next to Cat Street, aimed at high fashion. European brands alongside Japanese designers, in good condition and at a higher price than the Shimokitazawa branch.
Small Change Koenji
Vintage for men and women over two floors, in American and European casual style, with jewelry and the shop's own new pieces in vintage style.
Albatross Koenji
A vintage shop in the Pal arcade, a sister of Slat: band T-shirts, sportswear and Americana leaning to the 90s, mostly for men.
Bernet Koenji
A women's vintage shop in a side street south of the station: mostly dresses, plus blouses, coats and accessories from America and Europe, most of them from the 70s to the 90s.
Whistler Koenji
Specializes almost only in American classics for men from the forties to the sixties. A shop for enthusiasts who know what they are looking for.
Slat Koenji
The flagship of the Slat group at the end of the Pal arcade: Americana, American military clothing and Levi's jeans, from cheap used clothes to rare vintage.
Stick Out Shimokitazawa
One rule: a single price. A large share of the items are ¥700. The stock is not sorted by quality, so it is a lottery, but a cheap one.
Kinji Shimokitazawa
A huge, sprawling shop with packed racks of colorful items from the eighties and nineties. Loud and fun, and suits a long dig.
Little Trip to Heaven Shimokitazawa
A small boutique that feels like a fairy tale. The prices are higher, but every item is chosen one by one. Suits those looking for a special piece and not for quantity.
Ragla Magla Shimokitazawa
Operating for over a decade, on the second floor. A varied stock with no single specialty, at mid-range prices. A good stop in the middle of a round of the shops.
Micmo Shimokitazawa
Several branches in Shimokitazawa, with a playful approach and low prices. Suits young people and those who want one item from the area without spending much.
Komehyo Shinjuku
A second-hand department store chain with several branches around Shinjuku 3. The MLJ branch sells jewelry and watches, and the Women branch sells bags and fashion. Tax-free accepted.

Ginza Xiaoma
A private shop that buys and sells Hermès bags, new and pre-owned, mainly Birkin, Kelly and Constance, with an authenticity check. It has no link to Hermès. Opened in Ginza 1-chome in November 2024.
Desert Snow Harajuku
The spirit of rugged American casual, in the back alleys of Harajuku. Jeans, leather jackets and boots.
