Thrift, Second-hand, and Vintage..

I love... love.. LOVE  thrifting, I love going to a vintage stores, garage sale, flea market. It's not so much of the price, oh well that's probably one of the main reason, but the the biggest thrill is (if your lucky) getting the stuffs you wanted and no longer available.. it like treasure hunting!! you never know what u'r gonna get.. well, that usually my case, then again I just love shopping..lol
these are some my favorite places in Japan's for vintage stuffs:

This is my favourite flea market in Japan, you could find amazing stuffs there.. if you'r vintage junkie, this place is a must..

O-i Keibajo (O-i race track) in No.1 Parking area
Location: 2-1-2 Katsushima Shinagawa-ku Tokyo
Time: 9:00-15:00
Number of shops: 600
Access: About a 3 min walk from O-i Keibajo station (two stops on Monorail train from Hamamatsu-cho station), a 10 min walk from Ekaigawa station (Keihin Kyu-ko line). 
 
Some people at Oikebajo flea market, also sells brand new stuffs at low prices..
 
The second place that I frequently visit isShinagawa flea market, simply because it's on every week end, although the size is a lot smaller the oikebajo flea market.

Shinagawa Inter City Flea Market
Location: Shinagawa InterCity, Kounan2-15-2, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Time: 11:00am-4:00pm
Number of shops: approx. 120

Tall tower Shinagawa InterCity, near JR Shinagawa station which is bullet train Shinkansen stops. It's held if it's rain. Cafes, fast food shops are found on the same floor with clean toilet!  




And for a region with a vintage vibe.. Koenji is the place, it's your very own laid back hippie-kindda town, you could find, small cafes and bars, vintage furnitures stores, used clothing stores, second-hand records/Cds stores.. I Adore the place..
