https://maps.app.goo.gl/cFeuuvgNfZM8D4HG9
The address of the second-hand clothing factory is 813-122 Awano, Kamagaya City, Chiba Prefecture 273-0132. It faces the road and is easily identifiable as it is a conspicuous warehouse.
For trains, the Hokuso Line, Tobu Noda Line, and Shin-Keisei Line pass nearby, and the nearest stations are Shin-Kamagaya Station, Nishi-Shiroi Station, and Mutsumi Station. However, it is far from any station, about 2-3 kilometers away. It takes about 25-30 minutes on foot. There are no buses, so it's a bit difficult to get to by train. There are many flat roads from the station, so it's not impossible to walk.
Basically, everyone comes by car. I visited on Sunday. I arrived at around 10:40, before the store opened at 11:00, but the parking lot was the last one. Everyone was waiting for the store to open.
Restrooms are closed to the general public.
Customers keep coming even after the store opens. Kids and children's clothes are also available, and there are plenty of women's second-hand clothes, so families are also conspicuous. I noticed on the way back that some people were parked on the street near the used clothes factory.
Furugi Factory's official Instagram calls attention not to park on the street. Let's follow the manners so as not to bother the wonderful second-hand clothing store.

Dig second-hand clothing wholesale at the second-hand clothing factory!
There is a smoking area and a vending machine in front of the store. There is also a restroom.
Everyone was waiting in the car, and surprisingly no one was waiting in front of the opening. I am number one! Opened on time, exactly at 11:00.
As a store in a large second-hand clothing warehouse, it's spacious! It also has two floors.
The second floor is mostly vintage. The first floor has more products.
First, grab a shopping basket and start digging!
Jeans are Levi's main. The denim corner on the first floor has a small number of American Levi's. Most of them were made in Japan from the current 90s. Made in USA, vintage denim is on the 2nd floor.
Because it was before summer, there were many Hawaiian shirts and short-sleeved shirts in stock.
In the back of the store, women's all-over patterned dresses and retro shirts are lined up. There are many bottoms such as denim in the back of the photo.
There are quite a few small items such as caps.
Two fitting rooms. Spacious and very comfortable. The photo on the left shows many overalls and jumpsuits.
It's easy to understand if you like second-hand clothes, and I'm glad that the products are divided by category.
The bottoms are also neatly divided according to the size of the waist. Although it is a secondhand clothing wholesale warehouse with a strong impression of miscellaneous things, the secondhand clothing factory is very neat and easy to see.
The vintage main corner on the 2nd floor. The photo is military, denim jacket and jeans.
Are Levi's made in the USA a little cheaper than the second-hand clothing store prices in Tokyo?
80s-90s US made around 4000 yen.
My personal favorite is the Staple corner.
Talon Zip's Levi's Staple and Wrangler's Launcher Pants are around 2000 yen, so it's worth digging. Good and bad condition.
Vintage Corner. Sportswear, patterned shirts, etc.
There are plenty of shoes such as Converse All Stars.
Ladies' sandals are also available. This area is more recycled than vintage.
In the showcase, there are vintage items priced at over 10,000 yen. Levi's 501 Big E was 200,000 yen.
Second-hand clothes factory's half-price sale "Second-hand clothes buffet" is held every month
Basically, all of the products at Secondhand Factory are priced according to the color of the product's price tag. For each color, we are holding a sale where the products with the specified price tag color are half price every month!
When I visited, all blue and pink price tags were half price. The second-hand clothes buffet sale is also available for general sales, not wholesale, and I am very happy to buy it at half price.

Honest impression of the price of the second-hand clothing factory after actually going there is "The second-hand clothing buffet is cheaper than half the price of the target items. Other than that, the price is normal than I thought. Overall, the price is not expensive."
I felt that the half-price items in the second-hand clothes buffet were cheap. However, even the half-price list price is not expensive, and the quality of this second-hand clothes is a reasonable price, and it's a little cheap. The target price tag color changes on the 1st of every month for the half-price sale, so the 1st of every month is the target.
The white price tags are mainly vintage, so it might be the best to visit when the white price tags are cheaper. There seems to be a 30% off sale on vintage main white price tags only twice a year. That said, the secondhand clothing factory has a large selection of products, and overall it's a good store, so it's always worth a visit.
Introducing some of the items actually purchased this time at the second-hand clothing factory along with the prices.
Denim coverall jacket. Cute slightly longer length. It's made in Asia, but judging from the atmosphere, is it around the 90s? The list price is 1900 yen + tax. This time it was half the price at the blue tag sale, so it was 1045 yen.
Current Levi's 502. Chemical wash denim that I have never seen before. It's my favorite 502, and it's the perfect size, so it's not worth it as a second-hand item, but I bought it. The price is 1500 yen + tax. It was half price, so it was 825 yen.
Probably a retro shirt from the 80s to 90s. I bought it because it was a good size and I liked the cotton/poly mixed material. It was in the vintage corner. The price is 1900 yen + tax, so it's 2090 yen.
RJC/Robert J. Clancy, a long-established Hawaiian shirt brand. Was it the uniform of a company called Fresh Island Fish? US vintage clothes. This is also a vintage corner with a white tag. The price is 1900 yen + tax, so it's 2090 yen.
Green aloha shirt with cute ukulele and percussion instruments. 1500 yen + tax with a pink tag. It was half price, so it was 825 yen.
