If you love Tokyo fashion but find the price tags a bit out of reach, you’re in luck—Tokyo’s secondhand scene is one of the best in the world. With so many shops scattered across the city, chances are you’ll walk past one even if it’s not on your itinerary. While neighborhoods like Shimokitazawa are especially known for their dense clusters of secondhand stores, the area has a very specific vibe and style, and the sheer volume of options can feel overwhelming.

If that’s not quite your scene—or you don’t have the time (or patience) to dig through hundreds of racks—we recommend starting with a popular, reliable chain: Ragtag.

With locations in Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and more, Ragtag is conveniently located near major stations, making it easy to stop by wherever you are. They’re known for their curated selection of designer and branded goods, offering everything from streetwear to high-end fashion at more affordable prices. If you’re hoping to score a deal on a recognizable name, this is a great place to start.

The layout of Ragtag stores also makes for an easier shopping experience—they’re typically organized by style (like streetwear or business casual) and brand, so you won’t have to dig endlessly through mixed racks. While we haven’t visited every location, we’ve consistently found that the Shibuya and Harajuku stores offer the best selections. That said, inventory changes constantly and luck plays a role, so every visit is different.

If you’d like to do some browsing ahead of time, check out their website—you can view their extensive online listings and see which store carries a specific item (look for the section labeled 在庫店舗 in the item description). While this might take away a bit of the thrill of the hunt, it’s a great way to narrow down which stores to prioritize—because let’s be honest, you won’t be able to visit them all.
