An old school Tokyo record shop

There’s no shortage of record shops in Tokyo, but few are as fantastic looking as this little place.

    Thank you. I’m loving this so much. It’s only small but I could spend hours in here!

      You are very welcome. Always happy to walk past this shop. The sign gets me very time.

    Little shops like this one is what makes a nice and spirited neighborhood.
    Thank you !

      My pleasure. And yes, couldn’t agree more. Convenience stores and the like live up to their names, but places like this make a town feel like home.

    Only 200 Yen for an album is a bargain! It is heartening to know that there are still people who love music the old fashioned way.

      It is, although it does depend what those albums are! Still lots of record shops in Tokyo. Big chains, plus countless independent shops like this one.

    I’m guessing that the album titles flow top to bottom or a good browse could result in a sore neck!
    My only Japanese vinyl (Tenniscoats) is labelled in English.

      That’s all part of the experience! A lot of them are to be honest, although trying to find a particular artist is always something I have trouble with in a record shop here.
