If you guys ever visit Japan, make sure to visit one of the many second hand stores. I would advice against visiting one in a touristy spot like Shibuya though. At least the ones I visited there seemed to be a lot more pricy. But even the shops in more rural areas have an awesome selection of clothes, which are in top shape. In my home country most second hand shops smell of old fabric and you have to look really hard to find something good. In Japan everything smells fresh and there are so many cool options.

    I’ll be going to Japan this January, where did you look for these 2nd hand shops?

    Shimokitazawa was a place I keep hearing about.

    Any struggles you can share?

      +1 for shimokitazawa, there were several around when I visited ~5 yrs ago. Lots of bars / cafes etc too, nice place to visit!
