Ragtag
Designer resale done properly — Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake, Yohji — if you want Japanese avant-garde labels at secondhand prices, this is the first stop

Kinji
A large-format used clothing store with genuinely low prices — less curated than the boutiques but great for digging, especially for workwear and 90s pieces

NOTIME Shimokitazawa
Named after the SF intersection and living up to it — 60s and 70s American counterculture clothing, psychedelic prints, and a long-standing Shimokitazawa presence

New York Joe Exchange
Bring clothes, leave with different ones — this exchange store lets you trade in items on the spot for credit, a Shimokitazawa institution for over 15 years

Chicago Shimokitazawa
The go-to for American vintage in Japan — flannels, Levi's, varsity jackets — three floors of well-sorted stock at prices that feel impossible compared to Europe
More details6
Flamingo
Colourful and tightly curated — strong on 70s and 80s Western vintage, good window displays, and a Shimokitazawa staple with multiple nearby locations
