13 recommended BEST vintage clothing thrift stores in Kawasaki, Kanagawa JAPAN

13 recommended BEST vintage clothing stores in Kawasaki, Kanagawa JAPAN

Summary of vintage clothing stores around JR Kawasaki Station and Keikyu Kawasaki Station. Kawasaki Station in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. JR Ueno-Tokyo Line, Keihin-Tohoku Line, Nambu Line, Tokaido Line, Odoriko-go stop station, and Keikyu Kawasaki Station make it a major terminal station. Large commercial facilities and downtown areas line up around the station. A large-scale downtown area with an aquarium and a red-light district. I personally like this area where the expression of the street changes just by walking a little from the station. There are several vintage clothing stores within walking distance around Kawasaki Station. There is also a vintage shop with high rooms, so there is a lot to do.

It is characterized by street and sports. There are a lot of second-hand uniform-type clothes. The price is 10,000 yen ~. It's not cheap, but it's a good second-hand clothing store with high quality.

A wide range of items including mode, street, American casual, and outdoor.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213051j:plain

There are also brand recycling such as Yohji Yamamoto and Garcon.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213056j:plain

In the back is a cheap used clothes corner for less than 1000 yen.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213103j:plain

There is also a branded product corner in the showcase.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213112j:plain

There is also a children's clothing section. There are more women's second-hand clothes under 1000 yen than men's.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213117j:plain

There is also a 210 yen corner!

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213121j:plain

I sell a lot of bags, but they are slightly expensive.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213125j:plain

There are also Dr. Martens for women's brands.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213130j:plain

The sports uniform corner has many uniforms of Yokohama BayStars, Yokohama F Marinos, and Kawasaki Frontale due to the location.

SCAR TISSUE

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213135j:plain

A second-hand clothing store that looks like a warehouse at first glance, Scartish mainly deals in American vintage clothing. Check Instagram for product information and more.

Although it is a little far from the station, there are other second-hand clothing stores such as the 20s store and Moose Coffee nearby, so it is an area worth visiting.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213139j:plain

It's a little hard to enter, but you can enter normally.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213146j:plain

It's not a large second-hand clothing store, but the density of second-hand clothes is high. I got the impression that the price was surprisingly cheap and not expensive. It was a nice shop with mainly American casual clothes such as Levi's, Champion, Carhartt, and Ralph Lauren. I wonder if there were many products around 5000 to 10000 yen. Feels cheap for the quality.

20s store

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213202j:plain

A vintage shop especially recommended for women. They carry a lot of second-hand women's clothes.

Although it is quite far from the station, it is a vintage clothing store worth visiting.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213153j:plain

The female owner is very friendly and fun to talk to. Second-hand clothing stores can be a bit dingy, but this place is very clean. It's like a beauty salon.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213158j:plain

Both men's and women's are available. There aren't many shops that have so many vintage clothes in women's sizes. While there are items priced between 1,000 and 2,000 yen, there are also many second-hand clothes that cost between 5,000 and 10,000 yen. Above all, I think it's a vintage clothing store with a good sense of size and high practicality.

Stray Sheep Kawasaki (Vande Collection C)

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213207j:plain

STRAYSHEEP KAWASAKI in Kawasaki's famous commercial facility La Cittadella.

Walking distance from the station. The fountain is closed due to the corona wreck, but I liked sitting idly by the fountain here.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213211j:plain

There is also Dr. Martens on the first floor.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213215j:plain

The name of the store is Stray Sheep, but please note that it is listed under another name, Vendée Collection C, on the tenant list. I didn't notice it at first and thought it was closed.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213220j:plain

Stray Sheep is on the second floor.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213224j:plain

A shop featuring military and work-related dead stock. Product information is updated on Instagram. A beautiful military outfit is helpful.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213230j:plain

Because it is located in such a splendid commercial facility, the used clothes are of very high quality. Prices aren't cheap, but you'll find genuine vintage clothing. The number of dead stock items is decreasing year by year, and a shop that has such a wide range of sizes and types is very valuable. It seems that they buy and stock several times a year in various parts of Europe.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213234j:plain

There aren't many products, but anyway, it's a treasure trove of dead stock. In particular, there are no shops in this area that are as polite as European military and Eurowork, so it is valuable. A shop recommended for women who want second-hand clothes that don't look like second-hand clothes. It's mainly men's, but there's also a decent selection of women's. The price is about 10000 to 30000 yen.

OUTSIDE

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213250j:plain

Outside is an American casual vintage shop with a big American flag. Kawasaki local ticket can be used! The store itself is highly favored, but it is also a second-hand clothing store with a wonderful selection of items.

『OUTSIDE』@KAWASAKI

After passing La Cittadella, you can see the outside. A short walk away.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213255j:plain

We also sell new items, so it feels like a select shop that mixes old and new clothes, but you can enjoy affordable American casual clothes in the price range of 5,000 to 10,000 yen. A good shop where you can tell that you really like second-hand clothes, such as the commentary pop of champion's reverse wear. A vintage clothing store where the owner is friendly and makes you want to stop by.

CLOSED - Old clothes and Jirozu

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213259j:plain

Located in Musa Kawasaki at the west exit of Kawasaki Station. Kawasaki is a really nice town to have a vintage clothing store in a station building with such a beautiful music hall. It's directly connected to the station, so you can go straight away.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213304j:plain

Maybe it was a bad timing when I visited, but the products were faint and the prices were so high that I was scared. It's more of a thrift store than a second hand store. Personally, I won't visit next time, but I would like to visit again because the selection was a little surprising.

LATHRILLS

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213308j:plain

About a 15 minute walk from the station. A must-see vintage clothing store at Kawasaki Station. Close to Shitte Station on foot.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213312j:plain

In a mysterious shop, take off your shoes and enter the store. Even so, it doesn't feel exclusive, and the owner welcomes you friendly and prepares slippers for you. There are also slippers that you can put on without taking off your shoes, so those who don't want to take them off can use them. Every time I go to a second-hand clothing store and wear Dr. Martens, it's troublesome to try them on.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213317j:plain

Mainly standard vintage clothes such as American casual, military, and euro vintage. In particular, the classic second-hand vintage items are of high quality. There are rare vintage clothes inside, and they are all in good condition because they are carefully repaired and maintained at the shop.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220304214516j:plain

US-made T-shirts start at 4,000 yen. A reasonable price for a full-fledged vintage that you can get a lot of things under 10000 yen. US T-shirts are often tattered and yellowed, but Rathril's is very beautiful. There are also military items such as American, British, and French military items, dress pants, mods coats, and jackets.

BOOKOFF SUPER BAZAAR No. 409 Kawasaki Minatomachi store

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213356j:plain

The entire second floor of Yamada Denki is Book Off Super Bazaar. It's quite wide, so it's overwhelming. Even if you don't buy a parking ticket, it's free for about an hour, so feel free to stop by.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213401j:plain

A comprehensive recycle shop that has everything from furniture to household goods.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213411j:plain

About half men and half ladies.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213443j:plain

There are also children's clothing and kids.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213415j:plain

Anyway, it's quite a lot, so it takes a lot of time to see it all. However, since it is a recycle shop, there are not many vintage items.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213420j:plain

We have seasonal patterns and Aloha shirts.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213425j:plain

We also have a fair amount of ladies. Women's clothes are cheaper, so it's a good place to look for cheap used clothes.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213431j:plain

There is also a huge amount of fashion accessories such as bags, shoes and hats.

Trefax Style Kawasaki Store

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213523j:plain

Kawasaki store, but it's not within walking distance from Kawasaki station. Close to Kawasaki Daishi.

Kawasaki Store Store Page

The parking lot is free, so it's easy to stop by.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228204745j:plain

It is on the second floor of a large commercial facility.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213504j:plain

I think there are a few more ladies. There are many cheap second-hand clothes starting at 1000 yen, and the wide selection of products is what Treasure Factory has to offer.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213508j:plain

Impression that there are many modes and streets for men. Due to the location, there was also a suit and business corner.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213512j:plain

Rather than vintage, second-hand, or American casual clothes, there were more current recycled second-hand clothes. The price was reasonable, around 3000-5000 yen.

Secondhand clothing store ENI

A super-hidden vintage clothing store in the suburbs, not within walking distance from Kawasaki Station. Take a bus from Kawasaki Station, or a 10-minute walk from Odasakae Station on the JR Nambu Line Hamakawasaki Branch Line.

The business is irregular, almost every day, and often only open around 20:00 to 22:00, which is quite rare. Please check the business status on Instagram. It is recommended to DM before visiting.

BOOKOFF SUPER BAZAAR Route 1 Tamagawa Ohashi store

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228204951j:plain

It's not within walking distance from Kawasaki Station, but it's a large book-off supermarket bazaar that's easy to stop by on your way to Kawasaki Station by car.

It's easy to understand because it's along a big highway. Be careful not to enter from the opposite lane.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228204954j:plain

Parking is plentiful and free.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228204957j:plain

A large store with two floors. It has a large floor area.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228205000j:plain

Basically anything is sold at BOOKOFF Super Bazaar.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228205509j:plain

Used clothing includes women's, men's, and children's clothing. Sufficient inventory of each. A little less men's? Overall, the price is appropriate for a book-off-like price. If you look for it, you will rarely find cheap used clothes. I found US-made Levi's at a low price and purchased them.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228205002j:plain

They sell a ton of sporting goods.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228205005j:plain

Hobby items such as golf and surfing are also in stock.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220228205008j:plain

Especially the instruments are amazing! It is rare to find a hard-off with so many used instruments.

Closed / Mode Off Market Square Kawasaki East

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213325j:plain

The following three stores are a little far from Kawasaki Station on foot. Proceed to go around by car. If you buy anything at Market Square Kawasaki East, you can get a free parking ticket for 1 hour. There is a 100 yen shop, so you can buy drinks there.

Mode Off Market Square Kawasaki East - secondhand shop

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213330j:plain

The mode is off with many recycled old clothes of 300 to 500 yen. This store has a large floor area and a large number of products.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213346j:plain

Many men's clothes are around 2000 yen. It's cheap, but it feels like an ordinary thrift shop.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210528213350j:plain

The sale corner is under 1000 yen, so it's worth digging.
