Harajuku & Aoyama


There are all sorts of treasures to be found at this consignment shop, from 1970s designer duds to delicate teacups, personal castaways to dead stock from long-defunct retailers. It’s in the second basement level of Omotesandō Hills, but you’ll need to enter from a separate street entrance on Omote-sandō.
