Second-hand stores are very common, not just in Tokyo but all over Japan. Huge second-hand stores are mostly found in central Tokyo.

The good thing about these second-hand shops is that they not only sell previously owned items but also accept items that you no longer use and want to sell.

2nd Street is a re-use shop that is very famous in Japan. You can buy and sell used items here.

They have a little bit of everything: from fashion branded clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. Even large items like home furniture, gadgets, sports accessories, toys, and much more.

However, there are some stores that only sell clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. This, especially in Tokyo because the space of the shops are smaller compared to stores located in more rural areas.

There are multiple branches of 2nd street shops around Shibuya area such as the 2nd street Shibuya Jinnan branch, just 5 minutes walk from Shibuya Station.

When I first saw the shop, I did not think it was a second-hand shop because the clothes were so clean and they really looked brand new.

There are a lot of fashionable items and vintage clothes here. Not just clothes but they also have shoes, bags, and various kinds of accessories. Branded fashion jewelry and even some antique items can be found as well. it was nice to look around.

Greetings to all mommies I am a supermom from Philippines. Previously, I worked and lived in Dubai for seven years, until 2015 the year I  moved in Japan. Currently, I am happily settled here with my Japanese husband and our 7 months old baby. I could only describe my almost 6 years of living here as a roller coaster ride more so, after I gave birth to my son. Japan had changed me in ways unimaginable. It has influence my lifestyle, my perceptions and beliefs. I was able to witness firsthand the pros and cons of living in the country. From their  language, culture and ethnicity, the people, place and in work. Those years were enough to give me quite personal and memorable experiences which I would be more than delighted to share with you.
