15 recommended BEST vintage clothing thrift stores in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo JAPAN

Everywhere in Shimokitazawa is fun!

There are so many vintage clothing stores in Shimokitazawa. I was born and raised in Setagaya, so I often went to Shimokitazawa when I was in high school. During that time, second-hand clothes came and went, second-hand clothes stores changed rapidly, and so did my income and the price of the second-hand clothes I bought. Still, Shimokitazawa's wonderful second-hand clothing stores will delight you with second-hand clothing whenever you visit.

My tour guide is available on airbnb experience!

Would you like to enjoy second-hand clothing shopping in Shimokitazawa with a host from Setagaya who loves second-hand clothing?

In the past, there were many second-hand clothing stores that were cheaper, but there was an impression that it had changed completely, and the number of large-scale second-hand clothing chains increased. Don't miss 2nd Street, Treasure Factory, Desert Snow, Ragtag, Step Ahead, Grizzly, Sabers and more. Because it is a second-hand clothing town, the selection and low prices are worth seeing. After all, there are days when I only buy second-hand clothes on Second Street. 

It's hard to choose, but I'd like to introduce some used clothing stores that I've been interested in recently. That said, there are many more recommendations besides the second-hand clothing stores I mentioned. Every time you go to a famous second-hand clothing store like Chicago or New York Joe, you can find what you want, and one of the ways to enjoy Shimokitazawa is to find a second-hand clothing store that is unexpectedly good just by taking a casual walk. Prices aren't the only way to enjoy second-hand clothes, and second-hand clothes shops are good or bad for each person, depending on their tastes and preferences. Please use it as a reference only, and I want you to find your own favorite in Shimokitazawa.

MONK

One of the used clothing stores in Shimokitazawa that I personally pay particular attention to.

MONK Vintage & Archive

Mainly men's. It's not a large store, but the product density is high. Even if you buy a certain amount of second-hand clothes and think that there aren't many things you want anymore, you can find what you want if you go to Monk. The added value and rediscovery of second-hand clothes that have never been seen before and obscure second-hand clothes is wonderful and interesting. Instagram posts are not just about introducing second-hand clothes, but they are full of love for vintage, which is interesting. I like the styling and the ability to make suggestions that match my hobbies. For some reason, there are second-hand clothes with one-dollar bills stuck in their pockets, and if you pick up a second-hand clothes that you think is good, you'll find it layered and layered on the rack display, and the details are interesting. The price range is around 8,000 to 20,000 yen.

Crook vintage

We have an assortment of euro vintage items.

Semi-basement floor of the new building. Enter from the side alley.

The store name means something like a charlatan, but it's nothing like that at all. Mostly men's and some women's. High-end select among euro vintage. Designer domestic brands and European brands represented by Massimo Osti line up. A good regular assortment purchased in Europe. The price range is often around 10,000 to 20,000 yen.

iot / iot reverse / SELEN

There are several affiliated stores such as iot and SELEN, and there is also a store in Nagoya. There are 3 stores in Shimokitazawa, all of which are interesting.

iot

iot is here.

iot Shimokitazawa mainly sells regular vintage items. There are both men's and women's clothing, but the impression of the iot series is that they have a high selection of unusual second-hand clothes that can be enjoyed by both men and women. Rather than finding classics, this second-hand clothing store always stimulates your curiosity, as it has items that are hard to find and regular vintages that have been selected with a unique sense. The price range is often around 8,000 to 15,000 yen.

This is Iot Reverse, which has a lot of special vintages.

The north side of Shimokitazawa is IoT. The one on the south side is iot reverse.

Regular vintage items are the same, but there are many women's items, and the lineup is more special, so both are interesting. Sometimes you can find special vintage items that are hard to find even on the internet, so you want to see every corner of the store. The price range is often around 10,000 to 20,000 yen.

Caka

Kaka has three stores in Shimokitazawa. There are two more stores, add (C) Vintage and X Vintage, in the same chain.

They have a very high sense of selection and a unique view of the world. There are no genres, and old clothes for both men and women are lined up. The density of the products is high, and all of them are second-hand clothes that you can feel the select sense of high quality. We also handle remakes, and each store is worth seeing.

MICMO Shimokitazawa (Mikumo)

One of the cheapest vintage clothing store chains in Shimokitazawa.

https://www.instagram.com/micmo_shimokita/

The first store is here. 2nd floor of the building.

I have the impression that the second-hand clothing market in Shimokitazawa has risen considerably with the times, but thanks to large-scale cheap second-hand clothing stores such as Mikumo, it is still fun to look for cheap and interesting recycled and regular second-hand clothing.

Every store has a lot of stock, and the main items are American regular second-hand clothes from the 90s and later. There are both men's and women's. The price range is around 1,000 to 5,000 yen. Personally, Mikumo is one of the must-see cheap second-hand clothing stores in Shimokitazawa because you can find bargains and second-hand clothes that are cheaper than the market price.

Mikumo has six stores in Shimokitazawa. There are high-quality and cheap second-hand clothes everywhere, so you may want to consider after visiting all the stores.

KIMAMA

You can feel the love for soccer from the entrance.

On the second floor of the Starbucks building.

It's interesting that the price tag is a soccer trading card or a Pokemon card. It's also interesting, so it's fun to see old clothes. Mainly men's, women's and some unisex. It is characterized by outdoor and sports styles, and it also has second-hand clothing such as military. It's fun because you can find items that are a bit different from what you might think are standard items.

The best feature of Kimama is that they have vintage soccer clothes. Special vintage uniforms are lined up in the back of the store. The price range is around 5,000 to 15,000 yen. The sale corner is cheap at around 1,500 yen.

DARAM -vintage clothing shop- (Durham)

Sophisticated regular used clothes can be found.

https://www.instagram.com/daram_tokyo_/

On the 3rd floor of the building. I like it because it looks like a secret base.

Mainly men's. There are also many old clothes that can be enjoyed as unisex. I personally think that the interesting thing about regular secondhand clothes is that you can find the value of secondhand clothes that cannot be measured by price or age alone, and you can find wonderful secondhand clothes that are unknown. One of the shops where you can taste it is Durham. In the price range of 3,000 to 10,000 yen, you can find edgy and interesting used clothes.

tsumugu

Secondhand clothing store specializing in ladies.

It stands out in street shops.

Even though Shimokitazawa is a town of second-hand clothing stores, there aren't many second-hand clothing stores that specialize in women's clothing. Tsumugu is my favorite. There is an interesting second-hand encounter with a unique selection that cannot be easily described as retro fashion. You can find one-of-a-kind items such as all-over patterns, patterned fabrics, cute textiles, and second-hand clothes with textures that you can't help but pick up. There are so many exciting clothes that you can't help but look at them even if you can't wear them yourself. You can find second-hand women's clothing in every genre, such as denim, dresses, and jackets. The price range is around 8,000 to 20,000 yen.

Lots of accessories.

FINCH

A vintage clothing store with a perfect balance.

On the second floor of the building.

A spacious interior. Second-hand clothes in good condition that have been carefully selected are lined up. The price and quality of second-hand clothes are just the right balance, and the presence of second-hand clothes that you can enjoy on a daily basis and that you can enjoy every time you come to Shimokitazawa is comfortable. Mainly men's. From military and denim classics to suit styles and formal atmospheres, it is a unique selection that is difficult to categorize. The price range is around 8,000 to 20,000 yen.

Mél

Japan's top class euro vintage. One of the famous stores.

On the second floor of the building.

A special vintage clothing store specializing in European vintages. There are a lot of clothes that are over 100 years old and really valuable old clothes, so please treat them with care. When visiting the store for the first time, read the store information, leave your bag, etc., and listen to the staff's explanations when you visit, so you can understand the rarity of the products and the world view before visiting. It is by no means exclusive, and it is a very polite shop, so it is one of the second-hand clothing stores that many euro vintage fans list as famous stores. Euro military, work, and linen items are lined up. The price range is often around 20,000 to 40,000 yen.

shara

An affiliated store of Sangenjaya's sui.

On the second floor of the building.

I like the atmosphere that doesn't look like a second-hand store in a good way. It has an open atmosphere like a select shop, and the racks are nice and easy to see. There are both men's and women's. There are classics and unusual varieties, and the balance is exquisite. It's nice to have a product lineup that feels like a classic but not so, regular but not so. An interesting vintage clothing store with new discoveries every time you go. The price range is often around 10,000 to 20,000 yen.

STICK OUT

A well-known store that needs no explanation.

700 Yen Used Clothes|Stickout

https://www.instagram.com/stickout800store/

The first store is on the second floor of the building. Savers on the first floor of the same building is also cheap.

I always think that the same Shimokitazawa is here. The number of shops selling second-hand clothes for 1,000 yen has decreased significantly, but Stick Out is still alive and well. And the selection is still good. I think there are many people who have known Shimokitazawa for a long time and have been to the first store, but surprisingly few people know that there are now three stores. The second store is near the station and handles regular vintage items at a low price. Stick out. The 3rd store is almost right in front of the 1st store. Please visit the 2nd and 3rd stores as well.

RubyTuesday

European vintage clothes are the main items.

It's down an alley. 1st floor.

Mainly men's. There are many second-hand clothes where you can enjoy the atmosphere of England, France, and Germany, with a focus on Euro vintage. From formal vintage jacket styles to Adidas jerseys and track tops. A rare European vintage second-hand clothing store in Shimokitazawa. The impression is that the price range is cheap, with many around 5,000 to 15,000 yen.

One of Shimokitazawa's famous vintage clothing stores.

The chair in front of the shop is a trademark.

Shimokitazawa has many well-known second-hand clothing stores, but I personally like Hickory because of the price range and the balance of items. Mainly American casual. There are both men's and women's. It is also attractive that there are many fashion goods such as leather shoes, belts, and hats. The products are based on classic second-hand clothes, and are a reliable and stable selection. The price range is often around 5,000 to 15,000 yen, which is cheaper than the market price.
