2nd Hand Shopping in Japan
I'm going to Japan at the end of the month and I'm looking for second hand shopping recommendations in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. I'm hoping to find shops that carry Kapital, Engineered Garments, FDMTL, and other popular Japanese brands. Thanks!

The chains to look out for are 2nd Street, Kindal, and Ragtag
also, check out shimokitazawa, it's an old neighborhood with many thrift stores.
I'm doing research now for my trip in April! Kōenji in Tokyo is supposed to be a great neighborhood for vintage shopping. Might be a bit more workwear and Americana than second hand EG, etc. but it's definitely worth looking into.
Sounds like it worth checking out, thank you!
Hi @Sway did you end up going to any second hand shops? I'm in Tokyo for a week and was looking for recommendations as well
I did. 2nd Street has a ton of locations and some of them have some nice finds. Be prepared to do some digging though.
Kindal also has a number of locations. Much more organized than 2nd Street but more of a focus on luxury brands.
For brand new items, I found some great pieces at Nepenthes (it was the New Year's sale). Beams is great, the various Kapital stores are worth checking out, and the Studio d'Artisan store was great if that's your vibe.
