10 Antique Stores in Tokyo That You Shouldn't Miss

September 3, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Kimono Kabukis

We are a store that sells "kimono" which is traditional Japanese clothing. All the kimono we are dealing is made in Japan. And we propose a way to easily wear it. That is a new way. The shop is small, but I have confidence in the assortment! Please come to Harajuku! Nice to meet you.

Hyotan-do

The craftsman's skill cultivated in tradition and the delicate sense of color unique to the Japanese, a sense of depiction over details. A pattern that expresses the blessings of the four seasons. Kimono is a Japanese folk costume that makes women's skin look the most beautiful, and is a silk art that is represented by the sensitivities unique to Japanese and dyed and woven made with traditional techniques. At Hyotan-do, we sell "haori" that can be worn casually by those who have never used a kimono at a reasonable price. I would be glad if you could convey the thought of the Hyotan-do once you grab it by hand and have many people call you alone.

Pass The Baton Omotesando

Reviewed By TravelBug282 - Lindfield, Australia

This is my new favourite shopping destination in Tokyo. If you like shopping for vintage, antiques or quirky stuff then this is the place to go. I bought two rare vintage Pez dispensers (Star Wars and Road runner) and vintage Imari ware at really reasonable prices. Stock changes regularly so it’s best if you can revisit again. The sign is on the street and then you need to go down flights of stairs to the basement but keep going, it’s worth it. There is a cafe halfway down the stairs. I’ve seen the hey also have a shop in Maronouchi and Kyoto (been to that shop too... it’s awesome). Love it...it’s a must for serious shoppers!

THE COVER NIPPON

Located inside Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, it introduces products traditionally handcrafted by artisans from all around Japan. Ranging from clothes, food and lifestyle necessities like Kimonos and Japanese sake, you’re able to feel the artisan’s passion through each and every product. Although the products vary in origin and use, there’s a unique yet beautiful harmony between them, and this harmony is what we think of as the best lifestyle we can imagine.
