Yokosuka flourished as a port town and is now home to Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force bases and US Navy bases. In particular, the area around Dobuita-dori, commonly known as Dobuita-dori, has a history of flourishing as a town where the US military was stationed after World War II, and there are still many shops lined with American shops. Despite being an American town, there are surprisingly few second-hand clothing stores, but I actually visited second-hand clothing stores and recycle shops. Aiming to post the largest number of stores on the Internet, we have compiled a list of recommended second-hand clothing stores.

Disconchi Thrift Shop
First of all, the name Thrift Shop is enough to get you started! In fact, my favorite vintage clothing store in Yokosuka! Many of the used clothes lined up in front of the store are priced under 1,000 yen, and some of them include T-shirts made in the United States, so it's worth digging. The online store on the official website is also cheap for second-hand clothes.
Since it is close to the Mikasa Terminal (Sarushima Visitor Center) that goes to Sarushima and the battleship Mikasa, it is a good location to stop by.
Anyway, the miscellaneous store is just like an American thrift shop! It reminds me of when I went to vintage clothing stores in Los Angeles.
