I actually like this store and have bought a few things from here but an interaction I had today at their store rubbed me the wrong way: today was very windy and I noticed
Some of their display racks had fallen over outside so I told them in English using gestures. They did not say thank you or seem appreciative that I did this because I really could’ve just said nothing and let their
Merchandise blow away in the wind. I ended buying some pants this same day and as I was walking out with my shopping bag the worker (blond hair Japanese guy) didn’t even say thanks for your purchase. Just walked right past me without acknowledging that I helped them or purchased something. It’s a shame because I actually like the store but the staff was not kind to me. I think it’s because I’m a foreigner.

As always, the best quality shop in terms of second-hand cloths. A must to pass if you are at shimo!

This is one of my go-to places in Shimokita for some throwback 90s street wears. They usually stock a ton of old school NBA related brands like Starters and FILAs. They often have a discount vintage clothing out front of the store that I have found some super cool items in the past. Definitely on the more feasible side in terms of pricing, compared to most used clothing shops in the are. I always make sure to stop by this place before settling on any pieces of clothing I might find at other stores just to make sure they don’t have anything similar and cheaper.

Not bad. Prices aren't super cheap, but they offer an okay collection. They also sell a few men kimonos.
