Since the re-opening of travel to Japan, we have been inundated with posts regarding shopping for specific items in Japan. While /r/Japantravel’s rules specifically forbid posting new threads on individual establishments or services – we have decided to create specific threads for most common questions appearing in posts that got removed, discussion threads or Discord, especially since many of the write-ups that were posted befored COVID-19 hit were no longer up to date.
Today’s topic is: **Shopping for vintage items in Tokyo (Kanto region).**
Feel free to talk about your favourite Shimo-Kitazawa thrift stores or interesting boutiques you have encountered.
*(This post is part of a discussion series set up by the moderators of /r/JapanTravel. Please stay civil, abide by the rules, keep it PG-13 rated, and focus on the actual topic when responding to this thread. Please note that general discussions/vague questions are not usually allowed per /r/JapanTravel’s rules, and threads in the similar style will be removed.*

What’s the best place to find vintage home goods?
i.e. tablewear, mugs, decor, etc.
Vintage clothing is Koenji. There’s a few other vintage types of shops here as well.
