Koenji
The heart of Tokyo vintage. Shops line the shopping streets north and south of the station, with the widest range of prices and genres anywhere. High-end archive down to flat-rate bins, all in one neighbourhood.

Shimokitazawa
Secondhand and vintage concentrated within walking distance of the station, mixed with cafés and record shops — a natural half-day route. Friendlier to visitors than Koenji, and stock turns over faster.

Harajuku & Ura-Hara
Where the shrine of vintage denim and American vintage coexists with big chain secondhand. Follow Cat Street into the Ura-Hara lanes and select shops and vintage keep coming.

Shibuya
Weighted toward large resale and chain secondhand. It connects to Harajuku on foot via Cat Street, so the two pair into one day.

Shinjuku
Brand flagships and large select shops rather than vintage. Best slotted into the first or last day of a trip.

Ueno & Ameyoko
Military surplus and long-running amekaji shops packed into the Ameyoko market lanes. Some of these stores are the origin point of repro denim, which makes this a pilgrimage stop.

Kichijoji
A neighbourhood built around Inokashira Park and its shopping streets. Vintage shops sit along a walking route with cafés — good for an unhurried half day.

Nakameguro
High-end vintage and sharply chosen select shops along the Meguro river. The archive-grade stores that stylists work out of are the point.

Ebisu & Daikanyama
A pilgrimage route of amekaji repro brand flagships. Gerugah, Warehouse, Toys McCoy and Kapital all sit within walking distance — you come here for the summit of reproduction, not for vintage.

Marunouchi & Ginza
The downtown of department stores and flagships. Beams Plus Marunouchi and Kapital Ginza and Roppongi are scattered here, which suits a brand-led visit.

Nakano
Subculture and secondhand mixed together in the Broadway basement and the surrounding shopping lanes. Otaku culture and vintage share the same building.

Asakusa & Kuramae
Kimono antiques and cheap secondhand scattered behind the Sensoji tourist route. Head down toward Kuramae and sharper select shops appear.

Jiyugaoka
A composed residential shopping district. Large recycle chains sit beside European-leaning select shops, and it never gets crowded enough to rush you.

Daikanyama
High-end archive and designer secondhand hidden in low-rise backstreets. The priciest vintage belt in Tokyo, and a different proposition from the repro pilgrimage next door in Ebisu.

Sangenjaya
Small secondhand shops packed into every lane of the triangle. The strength is sharply personal buying by young owners, which makes it a natural pair with Shimokitazawa.
