I spent WAY too much this time... lol - Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ nordvpn.com/tokyolens Risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee!

1:48 There was a plug & play video mahjong game for 2750yen in this display case which I would have bought (the keyboard thing right under where your finger is pointing).

@littleprincefox Год назад

I'm a bit of a figure collector...so I would probably be digging for the rarer and more coveted figures to be honest! There's rare finds and deals that I'd never be able to find outside of Japan!

@MisterKaroi Год назад

What was the name of that harddrive thing you saw, sounds interesting :) Thanks.

Hey Norm, I think there's a scammer using your profile pic. Just told me I won a prize and is asking me to send a message.

The amount of second hand stores in Japan makes me so jealous. So many treasures and items saved from dumps!! Thank you for exploring them!

Saw a Japanology episode where they visited a second hand furniture store. Lots of cool pieces I'd love to explore.

@TheEncouragementKid Год назад

Agreed I live vicariously though norm

@ameliabell3623 Год назад

I just can't get over how organized and well kept everything is. I'd be lost in there for a day on the toy floor alone - it's really cool to see the "junk" floor and travel down memory lane there too!

@crystal_rizz Год назад

The amount of older games you get in japanese thrift stores never fails to amaze me! In australia we barely get any thrift stores that take games let alone keep old ones!

@grayedhitherto9305 Год назад

One of my bucket lists, when I get to Japan, is to just explore a crap ton of thrift stores. Really appreciate taking us around all the time.

@fluidityyy Год назад

If I went to a shop like this, I'd never leave. Really cool to see how much love you're giving to places like this! Also, those survival games sound fun 👀

@davidgensemer502 Год назад

I think hard off is one of my favorite places to go in Japan! Just the quality of the secondhand items is insane, and for someone who loves to collect unique things it's paradise.

@Tonto117 Год назад

This is something that I want to go do so freaking badly in japan. I feel like you get a look at what normal everyday Japanese people like/ do ect. I know that the hobby off ones are more mainstream and they keep the good stuff more or less but I'd also like to go to the smaller second-hand stores in Japan. I know it's tacky but I'm in love with these videos.

@Der_Kleine_Mann Год назад

I love how they re-package all of the things so neatly in foil. Looks as good as new, and it protects the things well from further damage.

@nerd26373 Год назад

We appreciate all your hard work and dedication on this channel. Keep up the good work.

@TokyoLens Год назад

Thanks, will do!

@madeofnapalm Год назад

Yoshiko Sai's album "Mangekyou" has one of the most mesmerizing covers ever, and it's an amazing album too. Her other albums are great too (both artwork and music). Also Masayoshi Takanaka's "All Of Me" - the coolness personified.

@serginhohenrique Год назад

The japanese thrift stores are a lot of levels ahead! Usually they're very honest with the prices, not overcharging. Great video! The Nintendo 64 section and the portable DVD player made me very nostalgic.

@Okuu__ Год назад

I absolutely love these thrift store videos. every frame of the video is a gem. I find myself pausing and rewatching and looking all over. Thanks for the fun video

@deividasb Год назад

I've worked in a second hand store for a short time in the UK and I wish that we had anything like the thrift stores in Japan. Here in the UK you can sometimes find something cool but I usually find that items can be overpriced (at least here in London). I'd love to go to Japan just for the thrift stores let alone sightseeing! Theres just so much variety!

Its so annoying how everything has ebay prices now regardless of quality, and dont get me started on cex man

@Don_Giovanni Год назад

For me it was Mandarake since there was one right downstairs of the school I studied Japanese at. These places are true treasure troves for nerds! 🤩 I spent some much money there! 😅

@johnhorner1821 Год назад

got to love another thrift store video. What I love to do with these videos is to focus on what the camera isn't focusing on, so all the items on the side of the frame. It makes me feel like I am actually there, and being overwhelmed, and it is awesome. I am always impressed at how clean those stores are, unlike our Canadian versions. I seriously could do a lot of damage to my suitcases if I went to that place.

@LisaBDoyle Год назад

It's still amazing to me how well organised these shops are, when similar shops in places I've lived never seem to be half as well put together. I guess you need it when you have so much stuff, even knowing where things are would leave you needing a lot of time to go through them to find what you want/need.

@brianf8538 Год назад

I'm absolutely fascinated by these stores and the amount of work and organizational talent it must take to make them look this presentable.

@thenyxapollo470 Год назад

Thrift shopping is always an adventure you find so many things sometimes you find stories locked away in the items you find and it's always interesting, seeing how well japan keeps there items makes me envious when compared to Australian Thrift stores

@lauratippie5573 Год назад

You always make these videos so fun and exciting, and your enthusiasm is very infectious! Thanks for sharing with us, and bringing us along on your adventures. 😁

@CrippedGinge Год назад

I always love watching these thrift shop videos. It's amazing to see the huge range of things that can be found in these goldmines.

@kitasean Год назад

Whenever I go to Japan I'm always in the thrift stores. You can find so many gems with the most ridiculous prices (fair and cheap). I've watched most of your thrifting videos and so many locations I haven't been to yet. I've been marking them on my go to list when I go next month.

@deadkitsun6667 5 месяцев назад

Been going through all your videos and this was the first one I saw when it came out! Love to follow you on your adventures and can't wait for more videos, especially like these

@smallMarsh Год назад

seeing you walk through these stores really makes me excited to eventually go to japan and just explore every isle of these stores

@theartofikigai365 Год назад

I’m going straight to the whole playlist of thrift store videos lol also I wanna see how big the bag of stuff was 😂 I know for a fact I would of left with a whole suitcase full of items a suitcase with wheels! 🤣🤣 I’ll forever be in awe of how well the Japanese take care of everything it’s so appreciated and gives me so much hope for the world for so many reasons! ☺️

@nickmansbridge Год назад

I'm looking forward so much to exploring thrift stores next year in Japan. I think outside of Japan they can be seen as just full of old 'stuff' but because of how Japanese people care for things they look like they are still full of life. Thanks for introducing me to these sorts of shops ^_^.

@adamtwigger8554 Год назад

I absolutely love when you do these videos!!! Going to spend half of my holiday looking for these treasure troves. You are the best 👌🏻

@oelsay4 Год назад

My favorite type of your videos! I personally love going to these random item stores here in the US, wish I could be there in Japan! Keep up the great content!

@RansomReed Год назад

The sheer amount of stuff in these shops is so overwhelming, I would definitely be spending a full day there. Being a musician, designer, game collector, and anime lover I would just have too much to look at and most likely be broke the second I stepped inside. Absolutely love these videos and the record collection in the studio, especially the Patlabor soundtrack!

@cal6243 Год назад

The fact that you can get a brand new in-box N64 for ~$50 is actually insane! I really hope to go into some of these stores at some point.

@littleprincefox Год назад

@HiiImChris Год назад

Thank you for making this video. I actually found it really enjoyable to go through the shop with you, I also hope it helps their business out a bit with tourism open again. I really miss the physical experience of going out to shops like that in the 90s, obviously the u.s has had a powerful shift towards commercialism and online shopping now, which is a bit depressing and removes the experience and fun of going in person and finding gems

@mateuszz7 Год назад

I love these. But we definitely need to start getting haul videos after to see what you picked up! Keep up the awesome vids!!

@dattmay Год назад

Oh heck yes Norm! Ive got a long travel day today and you uploaded one of my favorite videos (more thrift stores!!) I'm absolutely interested in the longer video even if it's up on the Explore channel; these thrift stores are my weakness ♥️

@Assassin5745 Год назад

Hi Norm! Great video once again, I love the rhyming you did in the intro, despite the video's title not rhyming. Japanese Thrift stores are completely different to anything I've seen in other countries. There is so much niche and unique things that just make them so interesting to spend hours walking around, who knows what gems you might find!

@mayonaise000 Год назад

The items in here are so well preserved/refurbished it's astounding. These kind of videos make me want to spend an entire trip inside of these kinds of stores.

@cjlee6782 Год назад

@Soupedupman Год назад

Yes, to all the thrift stores. I love exploring pawn shops here in the U.S. and these stores just amaze me.

@MatsuhitoWeela Год назад

I love how broad yet specialized this shop is. I know all of the camera equipment probably sits at the top of your list but I really zeroed in on the records and the small cheap figurines. The figurines make great souvenirs for co-workers and friends since you can squeeze them into your luggage with no issue. I also spent some time researching record bars in Tokyo for a vinyl loving friend of mine recently. Also, Tokyo has some great thrift shops that are mainly geared towards clothing out towards Harajuku. We were able to find some really good deals.

@Loclassramen Год назад

So much nostalgia! I could spend hours in a place like that.I hope you bought that Roshi!

@KevinSchmidt-sj2rk Год назад

@Forrealsyall Год назад

Ooo I love me some thrift store videos. I have one locally but I don't go there too often, but sometimes I find some old PC games and it's always fun to see what people have dropped off. But the ones in Japan seem to be on a whole different level. I love retro gaming and I'd absolutely love to find some Japan exclusive games. I've been importing some but it's gotta be such a blast to see it in the wild like this! Also I do indeed know what those are, Famicom disc drive games. The Nintendo logo on the bottom is also a copyright protection measure. So you'll see fake carts that will have holes in the bottom to try to match the Nintendo logo.

@Embarrassed_Mess_ Год назад

It’s so fun to see what you can find in thrift stores! The level of organization and the condition of the items is impressive too! Completely unlike any theist store I’ve ever been in 😂

@ADoseofBuckley Год назад

9:10 - The game you picked up is one of the Jikkyo Powerful Pro Baseball games, the reason you probably find them in every store you go into for so cheap is the same as like... going to American thrift stores or pawn shops and seeing Madden or FIFA or NHL games from 10 years ago for like $5. They put them out every single year, update the rosters, maybe add a couple gameplay features, and then everyone buys that year's game and the previous year's game is obsolete. I have a couple of these Baseball games, they're pretty fun.

@hachi701 Год назад

To me Japanese second hand stores were all super overwhelming but fun at the same time. My favourite thing is how the quality is usually really great, like people actually take care of their stuff (or the stores only take and sell things with good condition). My favourites are thrift stores for clothes though haha

When I was travelling all over Japan I made sure to visit a book/hard/hobby off in every city because you never know what cool stuff you're gonna find. Had a lot of success finding neat things in Okinawan thrift stores actually, surprisingly a lot of rare games that were far cheaper than what I found in places like Fukuoka or Nagasaki
