This particular bookoff store is easy to get to by the Chuo line local train, once you exit the station it is diagonally across the road past Lumine. The quality and amount of books and CD’s are quite extensive with a wide variety. They also have a large men’s used clothed section if you’re up for a good deal on 2nd hand items. The selection of clothing is good with a number of items worth getting. Everything is is excellent condition and there’s a chance to find some luxury branded items as well. The prices for these items are very reasonable and more affordable than going to a known luxury resell store. I always highly recommend visiting a few bookoff stores if you’re near one.

I was happy to find that they have relatively large-ish collection of English books, but they seem to have given up on displaying them for costumers’ convenience. There are two rows; front and back. Just look at this “old relative’s bookshelf” vibe.

Lots of second hand stuff

Large store, part of a popular chain selling secondhand books and clothing. Also some secondhand appliances. Only a very small selection of books in English, but a very nice range of fairly cheap clothes, bags, etc. some of them brand labels.

Unexpected finds unavailable in the Tokyo central districts.
Not as large or cheap as suburb BookOffs but decent collection of various items. There were rare finds I'd never seen in a Book Off before. Easy access from station.
