Insider Experience: Vinyl hunt
Passionate about vinyl? Meet our Tokyo "Insider" for an adventure through Tokyo's best record shops.
Whether you're into jazz, The Beatles, Japanese folk or looking for obscure bootlegs, we'll help you find it amongst Tokyo's fantastic record shops. Shibuya is a great place to start - this district is fertile ground for record hunters, home to 13 of the country's best vinyl outlets with almost all genres of music represented. From there it's worth moving on to arty Shimokitazawa, where record shops jostle with vintage stores, second-hand furniture shops, bars and restaurants.
From soul, funk, boogie, disco, house, electronic, synth pop to new wave, world records, Japanese music... let us know what you're in to, so we can do a little research beforehand and then tailor the day's itinerary to suit you. This way you won't waste a moment figuring out where to go. Instead our bilingual Insider will zip you between vinyl stores and introduce to shop owners and collectors. Above all we'll ensure you have an enjoyable search and get some killer new additions to your record collection.
