Let’s go thrifting in Tokyo, Japan! For our #tokyotravelguide , we explore the most underrated and best vintage shops in Japan. Starting in Koenji, the coolest vintage shop-filled neighborhood a few train stops west of central Tokyo.

Koenji has made a name for itself through vintage clothing, art, and cafe culture. It’s where the people dress a little bit differently, the vintage is a little more specially curated, and even the coffee is brewed a little more slowly.

We end the day in the equally bohemian Nakano Broadway, a smaller version of Akihabara, where anime fans, bookworms, cosplayers, and gacahapon collectors all unite.

If you’re done thrift shopping in Shimokitazawa, both Koenji and Nakano are hidden gems in Tokyo with too many things to do!

Stay tuned for the rest of our 7 Days in Tokyo!

  • I've been living in the Koenji/Asagaya neighborhood for the past 15 years and I love it. You guys captured the vibe and visited some good spots! I love Floresta donuts. Earl Grey flavor is forever my favorite.
  • I stayed in Kōenji throughout November last year and it’s now my favourite place in the world. I wake up thinking about that Omurice restaurant constantly
  • The woman with the yellow flower glasses had such a happy vibe. I absolutely loved her fit. And your girlfriends colorful square patches cardigan was just so pretty! This was a very entertaining watch. Please do more!
  • It's my first time watching your video. I'm so impressed, it's so professionally edited and so aesthetically beautiful each screen.
  • I think the most amazing thing about Japan is that there is fresh tasty convenient food easily available anywhere. Convenient on the go, but not compromising on health. (Okay, well maybe the doughnuts haha so GORGEOUS)

    Thank you youtube to put this video on my first page this morning !!!! Whoa, I love the mood ! I am french but i love traveling too and watch the countries that I have already visited !! And your video was one of the best ! Thank you for this beauty and peaceful moment ! A little wes anderson vibes sometimes, love it
  • Oh my gosh, these shops look so clean and beautiful unlike the secondhand shops in America. These days, you can’t even tell based on how dingy the store looks as to whether or not you’ll find a good deal. Wherever you go, it’s clutter all over the place. The cafés and food markets look wonderful too, by the way. I so want to travel. ❤❤❤
  • @thatissodawn
    You two always visit such cool local spots. Bookmarking all of them for my next trip~
  • @miku4936
    I love it when you show the products packaging because I'm a graphic designer and I'm soo interested in Japanese graphic design 😅
  • @p30413
    영상미가 참 좋네용~
  • @veryclaro
    Gah, you guys make shopping look so relaxing hahaha. I've never been a fan and would almost never shop when I go to Tokyo (books/vinyl at the most), but your vintage shop stops don't look intimidating at all! Would you have tips for someone who might shop vintage in Japan for the first time? :)
  • @cynyou1
    I’m going to Japan in Nov & watching this makes me want to go sooner! Looking forward to shopping these places. Thank you!
  • One of the key aspects of KodaK shots is exclusivity, so keep it alive, buddy
  • @meluvcats
    I only went to Koenji once many years ago and didn't get a chance to explore it but for sure I will go again after this! Also, I'll never get bored of your combini runs 😉
  • @bigdog502
    Great vlog guys. I’m binge watching all your videos now I have found you 😊
  • Oohh so glad this video got recommended to me! Saved it in my Japan playlist for inspo when I will travel to Japan in 2026! Time to watch all the other ones aswell + subscribing for upcoming videos! ♥
