Tips from the community

Built in an old public bathhouse, you can see in the structure there are still remnants of that past with vintage tiles peeking out around floorboards and on the walls. Along with a soft glow from the neon lights, the shop has a truly ethereal feel. New York Joe has eccentric pieces that never lean on the side of dull. The fun part about New York Joe Exchange is that you can actually exchange old clothes for new ones at the shop, which is really ethical and fun.

As someone passionate about shopping ethically and who is always looking for unique pieces to add to my wardrobe, I have spent countless day-long shopping sprees scouring thrift shops around every corner of ShimoKita. I’ve made a list of my go-to spots representing a variety of different trends for any thrifter who is looking to spend a day or two exploring one of the most unique assortments of secondhand and vintage boutiques you can find in Tokyo.
