Vintage Tokyo at it's best!! Shimokitazawa may be the coolest place in Tokyo! With limited packing space for our trip to Japan we knew we would have to buy more clothes when we arrived, but thankfully the thrift scene in Tokyo is INCREDIBLE! I honestly didn't know second shopping could be so fun! There are some very expensive places with vintage items, but also lots of cheap bargain bucket places.
If you're looking for some cheap thrift shopping in Tokyo, then check out our picks for the best places to go! In this video, we'll guide you through some of the best thrift shops we found in Shimokitazawa. Not only will you be able to find some great clothes and accessories, but you'll also be helping to support some wonderful local businesses! So hop on over to our video and start shopping for some amazing clothes at some amazing prices!
Harajuku is famous as fashion capital of Tokyo, but Shimokitazawa had sooooo much to offer. Aswell as spending time in thrift stores and walking the streets of Harajuku looking for kawaii fashion we also spent some quiet time in Yoyogi Park with our friends. Tokyo may be crazy busy, full of shops and dense with people, but there is also room for slow fashion and slow days in the park.

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But now we are back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe and beyond!!
CHANGE OF PLAN!! Now we are in TOKYO lol!

Thanks Linda 🥰 Yeah doing a lot more self care whilst not in the van, realised I needed it after almost having a mental breakdown with stress 🤣🤣 so will have to keep this going beyond. Crazy what something as simple as taking time to wash my face and moisturise in the morning and put on some oil on my skin at night can do. Those little acts of routine feel good, will defo try keep this up when back in the van instead of using limited water as an excuse to only use baby wipes all the time 🤣

こんにちは、ご覧いただきありがとうございます🥰 はい、とても気に入りました。心配しないでください、私たちは通常マスクを着用しています。例えば、ショッピングセンターやドーナツ屋さん、電車の中などです。この2つのお店だけ外して撮影しましたが、スタッフは楽しそうでした。店内の静かな場所でのみ撮影するようにしました。誰もマスクを元に戻すように頼みませんでしたが、スタッフがいつでも頼んだら、マスクを着用していたでしょう。私たちは無礼ではなく、残りの時間は着用していますが、他の時間は顔を撮影していないことを理解していただければ幸いです.
