Visit and introduce used clothing stores in various areas of Okinawa such as Naha, Kokusaidori, Chatan, Ginowan, Urasoe, Uruma, and Itoman. We actually visited almost all second-hand clothing stores and recycle shops on the main island of Okinawa, and introduced recommendations for each area. Naha, Okinawa has a deep connection with American culture due to its historical background. It's easy to find second-hand US military clothing, and there are many good American casual second-hand clothing stores in mainland Okinawa.

Introduction of vintage clothing stores by area in Okinawa, such as military and American casual
Okinawa's second-hand clothing store tour can be roughly divided into the following areas. Most of them are concentrated in the southern part of Naha City, which is a downtown area. Some second-hand clothing stores are located far from tourist spots, but many can be visited while sightseeing.
Chatan and American Village are the northern limit of vintage clothing stores in western Okinawa. Yomitan, Onnason, and Nago are dotted with small recycle shops, but there are almost no used clothing stores.
In Okinawa, there are off-houses that sell military wear sold by the US military, and recycle shops are also worth visiting.
There are many second streets in Okinawa, and they are concentrated in the southern part, making it easy to get around with a rental car. At the time of my visit, there were 11 stores, and I visited them all in one day. Here are some of the shops that we particularly recommend. Itoman has Japan's southernmost Second Street.
Secondhand clothing stores from Ginowan to Urasoe (along Route 58)
Odori Route 58 is a must-pass for sightseeing in Okinawa. Around Urasoe-Futenma Air Base, and around Camp Foster, there are many antique shops and used clothing stores.
Secondhand Clothing Store Momoko Ginowan

The store is on the second floor of a multi-tenant building.
A thrift store in a strange bar or snack. How nice. splendid.
The door is open and easy to enter.
A friendly male and female clerk welcomes you. Mostly unisex used clothing, mostly around the 90s. Although there are some military and work items, this shop specializes in calm and casual outfits. A line-up of second-hand clothes that are unique but not out of the norm, one by one, you can tell that they have been carefully selected. The price range is around 5,000 to 10,000 yen.
CORK secondhand clothes & leather goods (cork leather & vintage)
A vintage shop along Route 81 near Futenma Air Base. Products are introduced on the official Instagram.
https://www.instagram.com/cork_usedclothing/
There is no parking lot, but there are several used clothing stores in the area, so it is recommended to park in the parking lot and walk around the shops.
High quality American casual vintage clothes are available. Most of them are men's, but there are also women's. A store that carries Boab leather works, which sells small leather goods and leather goods.
The store also sells small leather goods and miscellaneous goods, and the original leather items and interior miscellaneous goods are wonderful.
The number of used clothes is not large, but good vintages were concentrated. US Levi's dead stock, piece-dyed remake US military snow parka, vintage riders jacket around 70s, etc. I especially wanted deadstock denim because it was a good size and cheap. Used clothes are generally cheap. Around 5,000 to 10,000 yen.
CHILLOUT
A wonderful space filled with American culture. It seems that only here is not Japan!

alocasia vintage
Women's vintage clothing store.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/dcfoKsdqxc781QEdA
This is a shop that specializes in valuable second-hand women's clothing, with many items such as dresses and dresses. It was a holiday when I visited, so I didn't visit.
SINE METU
One of the centers of Okinawa soccer culture along Route 58. SINE METU｜Sinemetu
https://maps.app.goo.gl/BXcJpo3VFpR7fy8C8
It's easy to find as it's on the main street.
I love football related vintage. I really like the variety of items in this store. A select shop that produces original soccer-related products. When I visited, I saw a video of a high school soccer game while chatting with a customer.
There are spikes from the 90's and old soccer goods. And Okinawa's strongest vintage soccer corner. I want all of them, such as the Yugoslavia national team away uniform from the 1998 France World Cup, the Bayern Munich uniform from the 1990s, and the uniforms of overseas club teams that I have never seen before. Most are around 5,000 to 8,000 yen. Original brand selection is around 5,000 to 15,000 yen.
2nd LIFE
My favorite vintage clothing store along Route 58.
I think it's a hidden military vintage store with no HP or SNS.
The store is full of American miscellaneous goods and used clothes. In particular, the selection of small items is top class even in Okinawa. Children's clothing and children's American casual are also a masterpiece. A store that has so many vintage denim jackets for babies is quite rare. But it's cheap. Used clothes are sold from 1,000 yen.
Don't miss the military corner in the back. The standard vintage military wear has been suppressed, and dead stock mod code M-51, M-65 military coats and vintage items in good condition are on sale, and dead stock French military M-47 pants are on sale. Old clothes come out one after another. The shopkeeper is very friendly, and when we talk about various things, he takes out old clothes from the backyard and shows them to us.
The shelves are also packed with US Levi's and LEE denim, and UK military baker pants. 90s Levi's 501 and 505 were the perfect size, so I bought two. 3,000 yen for one. Cheap.
CHICAGO ANTIQUES (Chicago Antiques On Route 58, former 2nd city)
A famous antique shop that stands out especially along Route 58.
In the parking lot, there are several free parking lots in the back after entering the path next to the store.
Since it is in an easy-to-access place, it is easy to stop by while sightseeing.
Antique miscellaneous goods are on the 1st floor, and used clothes are on the 2nd floor. In particular, the selection of antique miscellaneous goods and accessories is the best in Okinawa. Neon signs, old furniture, old coke bottles, vintage Coleman lanterns, tableware, fire kings, and almost all antique miscellaneous goods.
Used clothes are on the 2nd floor, and although they don't have a lot of inventory, they have a large number of women's clothing, which is good. Old American or European style, around 5,000 yen. Unique old clothes are available.
Second City, which previously operated nearby, has moved to the second floor and now operates a vintage clothing store.
Manga Warehouse Urasoe Store
I personally think Manga Warehouse is the best entertainment spot in Okinawa. There are several stores. There is a second street Urasoe store nearby, so you can see two stores at the same time.
It is easy to access along Route 58 and has a fairly large parking lot. There is also a game arcade, so it is a popular shop for men and women of all ages. Always busy.
Used clothes are underground. Lots of women's and men's. Is it the best in Okinawa in terms of inventory? Aloha shirts have a Kariyushi wear corner.
Because it is not a vintage shop, but a recycle shop, there is a wide range of prices from under 500 yen to over 10,000 yen. If you look for it, you can find vintage ones, and US Levi's denim is also mixed in, so overall it's cheap. It is worth digging.
There is also a military corner. Impression that there are more reproductions than vintage. There is also a discounted item.
Every time I am surprised by the amount of shoes. They sell a huge number of sneakers and boots. It is easy to see because it is divided by size and brand.
Because of the location, there are plenty of used items such as diving equipment and surfing equipment. Large inventory of wetsuits.
The only place in the world where you can see the sanshin while listening to Led Zeppelin is the Manga Warehouse Urasoe branch? Angry.
There is also an antique furniture and miscellaneous goods corner.
Fire King, a staple of American miscellaneous goods, has an outstanding selection.
Like a southern island, there are quite a few sunglasses on sale.
Hard Off Off House Hanis Ginowan
A hard-off off-house located in a corner of a large commercial facility.
Free parking along Route 58.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary large recycle shop. It has two floors and sells a large amount of musical instruments such as guitars. What's amazing about this off-house is that military surplus items are sold in huge inventories. And surprisingly cheap.
There are many military wear in recent years, probably sold by people related to US military bases. All cheap. About 1,000 to 5,000 yen. There was also a US navy trench coat, and there was also an 80s vintage among them.
A plain khaki T-shirt, it may not sell well, but it's made in America and costs 200 yen! ?
Second Street PARCO City Urasoe Branch
Second Street in the large shopping center Parco City Urasoe. rare.
Located on the ocean side of the main road near the US military base Camp Kinser. Parking is free.
This store is characterized by higher quality products than general second street, and second-hand clothes in a higher price range than recycled ones. There are both men's and women's. Although the number of products is not large, popular brands and standard products are efficiently gathered, and it is worth seeing.
In particular, the vintage corner is substantial. American casual vintage around 70s to 90s are available. The price range is about 5,000 to 15,000 yen, but it varies depending on the product.
There is also a showcase. Genuine vintages such as US Levi's 66 early and late 66, big E are on sale. There was also denim that cost more than 300,000 yen.
Secondhand clothing store in Mihama Town Resort American Village, Chatan
American Village in Chatan, central Okinawa. Since it is a standard sightseeing spot, you will likely stop by often. There are multiple second-hand clothing stores in a large commercial facility that has been designed to give the illusion of being in America.
American depot
The largest vintage clothing store in American Village. There are many antiques and vintages, so this is my favorite shop in American Village. The first floor is miscellaneous goods, and the second floor is used clothes. There are both men's and women's.
american depot - american depot
Anyway, the number of stocks is large because the store is large. American casual main, standard items such as US Levi's are fulfilling. The ladies corner is also large. What I personally like is that there is a large inventory of nylon jackets and jerseys in the sports vintage corner and leather jackets. The prices range from 5,000 to 10,000 yen, and there are many reasonably priced, high-quality products.
The military corner at the back of the second floor has an amazing amount of inventory. Although it is not vintage, there are used clothes sold from various countries.
american depot B
Basement 1st floor. There are some new items, but most of them are vintage or sold-out military wear.
I have never seen so many fabric bags sold at other stores.
We also sell European military wear. Germany, France, Netherlands, etc. are divided by country, making it easy to understand and read. Overall, there were many modern second-hand clothes, and although there was no classic military vintage like the French military M-47 pants, there were many items and sizes. The price is reasonable and the stock is large so it is worth seeing.
SOHO
A new souvenir shop that sells American miscellaneous goods.
In one corner of the 2nd floor, there were used Aloha shirts, etc., but they were few in number.
Secondhand clothing store in Nakagusuku Village, Awase, Uruma City, Okinawa
Uruma City is famous for the mid-sea road that extends to Miyagi Island. Since it is located on the east side of the main island of Okinawa, it is far from the standard sightseeing spots, but if you go by car, it is surprisingly close to the center of Naha. Introduce second-hand clothing stores in the eastern area of Okinawa main island.
From Uruma City to Awase, there are 4 Second Street stores, hard-off/off-house stores, and manga warehouses. AEON MALL Rycom in Kitanakagusuku on the way from Naha also has a second-hand clothing store.
Second Street Uruma Midorimachi Branch
Second Street in the Midori-cho area of Uruma City, which is not often visited by tourists.
There is a free parking lot in front of the store.
While it is a medium-sized store, Fire King's low price was characteristic. Located in the tableware corner on the 1st floor, it has a wide variety and was particularly cheap in Okinawa. Various types are sold for around 1,000 to 2,000 yen. In Tokyo, they sometimes sell for twice as much. Also, I found vintage 80s Ray-Ban sunglasses at this store for 4,500 yen and bought them.
Manga Warehouse Awase Store
Away from the tourist center, Manga Warehouse Awase Branch is bustling with locals.
There is an annex across the street. Outdoor goods, American antique miscellaneous goods, and sporting goods are sold in the annex.
Every time I visit Manga Soko, I wonder why there are so many sneakers and shoes in stock. You can always find a cheap pair of shoes that fit your size.
Kids, children's clothing, and women's second-hand clothing inventory is quite large, but is it smaller than other manga warehouses? A store with a strong entertainment facility element such as a game center. A lot of recycled old clothes.
mzizm
Secondhand clothing store/select shop in NEO POGOTOWN, a complex facility near Kadena Air Base, which has a music studio, a coffee shop, a DIY parlor, a tattoo studio, a second-hand clothing & sundries store, and an embroidery atelier. . The flashy atmosphere of a live house is wonderful. We also handle remade old clothes.
ANTIQULTURE AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom (inside Anticulture/AEON MALL Rycom)
A vintage clothing store in Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom in central Okinawa.

Parking is huge and free. A huge shopping mall that is so wide that you can walk quite a bit from parking your car to going to the store.
Secondhand clothing store Anticulture is on the 3rd floor. It's in the middle of the building, so it's in a good location so you can pass in front of it even if you're not looking for it. Second-hand clothing stores are prominent in most shopping malls, where brand new stores are located. Even people who don't usually visit second-hand clothing stores will be able to experience the beauty of vintage clothing.
Anticulture is an affiliated store of TT International Co., Ltd., which operates vintage clothing stores such as "Grapefruit Moon" and "Big Time" in Shimokitazawa and Koenji. The interior, products, and price range are similar. Prices are reasonable, around 5,000-10,000 yen. Not cheap, but a great selection. Considering the good condition and good size, it is not expensive.
LEDGE second-hand clothing store in Nakagusuku
It is located in the area of Nakagusuku Village, which is rarely visited by tourists, and there are no recycle shops or other second-hand clothing stores in the area, but it is a good second-hand clothing store worth going all the way.
https://www.instagram.com/ledge.dimly/
There is a free parking lot next to the building.
The long and narrow store looks like a dungeon and is fun. They also sell records, CDs, and miscellaneous goods.
Focus on American Casual and Military. There are both men's and women's. Overall cheaper than market. There are many old clothes around the 90s.
The product tag has a detailed description of the product, making it easy to understand. 2,000 yen is cheap for 90s. I would buy it if it was the right size.
LEDGE also features a large selection of second-hand women's clothing. The back of the store is a women's corner. You can find good old clothes around 1,000 to 5,000 yen. OTS vintage airline bags were on sale, and I thought it was a wonderful Okinawan vintage.
Kokusai Street, a used clothing store in the southern part of Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture to Itoman City
Kokusai Street, which is the center of tourism in Okinawa, also has many vintage clothing stores. Since there are many stores, I will introduce them in a separate article. The second-hand clothing store Fishball, which became a hot topic after being visited by popular YouTuber Yuta from Comdot, is located on Kokusai Street.
In the southern part of Naha, Okinawa, there are several second-hand clothing stores and recycle shops along the main street. The area is dotted with tourist attractions such as Senaga Island with Umikaji Terrace, Tomigusuku City with DMM Kariyushi Aquarium and Okinawa Outlet Mall Ashibinaa, and Itoman City where the remains of the war still remain, making it easy to stop by even if you are unfamiliar with the area.
Second Street Itoman Branch (Japan's Southernmost Point!)
One of the special stores on Second Street in Japan. It is the second street at the southernmost tip of Japan.
Second Street Itoman | Buy and sell clothing, furniture, home appliances, etc. Second Street< /p>
Parking is free along the main street.
A store in a large warehouse, wide. There are also many household items such as furniture and home appliances that are recycled.
Ladies and men's vintage clothes are available. Assortment of goods like a stable second street. Purchased a 70s BIG MAC check shirt for about 4,000 yen. It was in good deadstock condition.
Manga Warehouse Naha Branch
Among the many manga warehouses in Okinawa, the one with the highest quality vintage clothes is Manga Warehouse Naha Branch. Right next door is Second Street Akamine shop.
Close to the airport and within walking distance from Yui Rail Akamine Station. Free parking available.
It is divided by genre such as street fashion, American casual, etc., and each brand is displayed with pop. It is very easy to understand and easy to see.
One of the characteristics of Manga Soko is that they have a large inventory, but the Naha store has a particularly large selection of vintage and 90s clothing. Even if you rummage through denim, you can easily find American-made Levi's. Moreover, it sells for about 2,000 yen, which is cheap enough to be used for resale of used clothes.
Secondhand clothes and miscellaneous goods time machine
Probably the southernmost vintage clothing store in Okinawa. Easy to stop by on the way to Peace Memorial Park and Himeyuri Tower. Products are introduced on the official Instagram.
https://instagram.com/timemachine0725/
There is no parking lot, but there were many street parking around, so I stopped the car on the street after asking the people of the nearby shops for permission.
The interior of the renovated private house has a handmade feeling. Mainly 90s American casual. American casual second-hand classics such as Champion, Ralph Lauren, The North Face, and Carhartt are available. It is around 2,000 to 5,000 yen, which is cheaper than the market price.
There are also a few ladies in the back room. It is characterized by having a large inventory of Fire King, and a variety of types and sets.
It's great to have so many Fire Kings of the same color and shape in the full set. It seems that restaurants may purchase more than one.
