Full Tour of Japan's Smallest Camper Van is now live!! th-cam.com/video/BNplm3Zevk4/w-d-xo.html *Don't forget to turn on all notifications for this channel so you never miss a stream!!* What would you have bought from here? Should we do more of these? Let me know in the comments below!
I was half hoping that you would have stopped by the wristwatch section. Japan is a 'watch country' so I imagine that one can easily find interesting deals from second hand shops. Regardless, an interesting video, thanks for sharing with us!
Yes. Many things looked like new. I guess secondhand doesn't always means "used". I Don't really think this cosmetics are all opened up and someone used it already.
They just make the place clear and alot light and decent any. guess over seas they always try be clean and look decent any compare to place in america some reason. not saying all thrift in america not decent but just different places is different setup to look right and suitable i guess. i been to thrift and where i go it decent and they try make place nice in a way and not so run down like other places might be any.
@@blablup1214 Hiya! Foreigner living in Japan here. Yes, not all stuff is "used", but it is called "second hand". In Japan, sometimes people gift each other cosmetics or bed linens or stuff like that, that you don't really want, but you don't want to throw away, so you end up selling them in places like that. Drift stores won't take personal items (beauty products, socks, personal hygiene) that have been opened or used, but they will buy it from you if it's still sealed.
The fact that the video game and anime figure section is so stacked, makes me wanna go just for that ngl. Imma have to take an extra suitcase with me when I eventually go to Japan lol.
I work at a thrift store and I can say that when the stores grand open they look like this. Once they're open for a few months sometimes it's impossible to keep it that clean because of how we Americans are. Japanese people are always polite and clean over there.
I love Japanese thrift stores, most of the items still have a really good quality. I think it was in Morioka, up in Iwate, where a big 2 or 3 floor thrift store had loads of nerdy stuff and gaming related tech, I almost never left that place 😂
Second hand stores in Japan look so big and clean, over here in Germany it's usually really small stores that are crammed and you have to be careful to not knock anything over while you walk through it. Also we don't nearly have as much variety, I'm jealous :0
I work at a thrift shop in Ontario Canada, and its insane to see so many games and toys of that quality. Normally at my shop we have customers fighting each other over a handful of games and toys just so they can resell them.
Oh man, that anime figure section would get my wallet in trouble lol! Thank you so much for showing this shop! Love thrift stores. This one looks amazing compared to some of the thrift stores here in the US. So jealous. 😆
Oh man! I LOVE thrift stores! My mom and I used to hit them up all the time. You never know what you'll find. My best find sofar has been my wedding dress, was brand new from the Disney princess collection fit me perfectly only $150! :D
the in-store announcement definitely takes the cake~ sounds like its one woman doing the announcement in the whole of Japan XD it is amusing how organized and clean the thrift store is there~ cute mushroom for your collection~~ did you get it?
This legitimately made me change the way that I'm looking at my japan trip. I desperately wanted to do some camping, but it was going to be tough to fit in with the budget. After seeing this, I might extend my trip a little, and get out there and do some solo camping. Looks like you can get a full loadout for really reasonable prices.
Thrift stores in Japan are superior! I hope you bought that hammock and the cast iron skillets, those are great finds. I think I have to watch these in slower speeds, I want to look at all the cool things longer. I’ve always wanted to travel to Japan and plan on shopping but now I’ll have to plan on double shopping
Thrift stores are the best, legit 90% of my stuff comes from a thrift store. Everything can be washed/disinfected so why not? (stuffed toys survive the wash just fine) The one near me is good, mainly because it borders a rich neighbourhood. I could totally send you so much Fire King Norm I see it all the time!
Yes, that intercom voice majes me miss Japan. I am a HUGE Ratchet & Clank fan going back to my still working PS2 Fatty. I am also a game console collector. Love thrift stores in Japan.
Thirft stores are always fun, this one specifically reminds me of the Goodwills in my area. The electronics and the music sections are always my go-to spots to look for stuff like Gameboys or obscure music gear. I know the guitars with speakers built in are super gimmicky but they are still fun to play around with
I love thrift stores. I cannot believe how clean and new everything looked here! What did you end up buying? I would have loved the Totoro clock and the French Press. I also love coffee made that way. :)
Can guess stuff donated, that they dont like trash stuff any like america some or many dont maintain stuff as should any so it all wear and tear or use and donate if no need for it any. i seen stuff donated so i know peeps try not trash stuff cause read places wont even try sell any if not sellable at time and get trashed anytime.
Thrift store videoooooooo. You know these always get me pumped! I love how the Camping gear section was right next to some Megadeath shirts 😂 Definitely looked like this store had a really wide variety of items, though I was shocked by how much cleaning product/soaps they actually had; I've never seen that before in any thrift store I've been in.
New subscriber and this is oddly specific but I love that you are considerate of other shoppers. I hate when people are walking around with cameras while I'm just tryna do my grocery shopping or something (I live in central London, unfortunately it's common) and don't seem to care that I'm in their video even if I don't want to be, so it's nice that you try not to intrude upon other's shopping experiences. :)
Ah, I just love your videos! It’s like hanging out with a friend (who is way cooler than I am!) I love thrifting. Never any stuffed animals or pillows! I have to be able to sanitize things. I enjoyed the camper video too! 💓
Those copper pots looked amazing! I'm a huge thrift store fan and this shop and those ones shown in other video's on this channel are mind blowing. Great too see people of lower income have a place to shop at.
Brings back memories of when I visited a second-hand shop in Japan and it took me about 20 minutes of being suspicious of the prices to realise all the goods were used haha. Wish there was a didgeridoo in the store I visited - defs would've copped it. Cheers for the tour mate!
Yes air hockey you are correct sir ! I like fireking , but don't collect. Found a green piece in the free section once and have a succulent I grew in it.
12:54 That's a Fernandes ZO series guitar, very popular travel guitars (and a few basses!). I'm intending on buying one of the pink Hello Kitty ones when I'm in Japan again next March!
I've would definitely would not be able to control myself in this store, very cool stuff and especially the toys. Saludos desde Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.
I really enjoyed this video! Nothing like some good old shopping trip and wow the care for 2nd hand stuff in Japan is immaculate. I think thats what attracts me to these kind of videos. I so desperately want to shop there!
A second hand store! Of course! We are planning our post covid trip to Japan and a second hand store is now going on the to do list. Fyi, tools made for the Japanese market are great for reselling in the US especially ryobi and makita. The build quality is just so good.
thrift stores in the usa and especially in japan look so much more interesting and varied than the ones down here in australia ^_^’ this place is a well organised treasure trove! would love to see you explore similar stores around tokyo! :o
Saw your first video a few months back keep come back for more each day best way to relax after a long day of work ,Big love Tokyo Lens and your adventures
great video, your videos are always fun to watch, I liked the fans that were in the store 😀 👍, I think I will buy myself a fan when I move to Japan 🇯🇵, again great video 📹 👍
Huge fan of the thrift store videos. I feel that thrifting in the US has been killed off for the most part by pickers and scalpers looking for their next big haul. Kinda sux in my area.
The Fernandes ZO-3 travel guitar, is a good find, at $200-$250, as that style (Jamaican) is going for $750-$970ish, on EBay, though I saw a different style for $559. If you see one with additional built in effects (knobs), it would be more. The one with Pikachu style, is selling for about $4,200.
It's so clean there's nothing on the floor, so organized a beautiful place if there was a place like this here in the states me and my antique friend would shop all day there and spend hundreds of dollars just to know it looks so good to shop in. Lol thanks for sharing. Norm
Noted. Must go a'thriftin' in Japan :) There are so many things in this video that I know would have me standing there going "hmm.. do I neeed it though..".
I saw at least 20 things i want..i really wanna go to a japanese thrift store now. Also amazed at how everything looks like it’s in really good condition!
i live in a very wealthy japanese and korean area in usa and when they have a yard sales its like brand new and they basically give them away..i got a bag northface back pack like new for 10$, a hockey jersey for 10$ that i flipped for 130$ on eBay.....i love japan people =)

What would you have bought from here? Should we do more of these? Let me know in the comments below!
That was great! Our thrift shop here are nothing compared to the Japanese ones!
I only have a PS2, but was always a big fan of the Spyro the Dragon games. Always a good time finding those in thrift shops.
I was half hoping that you would have stopped by the wristwatch section. Japan is a 'watch country' so I imagine that one can easily find interesting deals from second hand shops. Regardless, an interesting video, thanks for sharing with us!
Yes please! Make more videos like this! And videos of fleamarket as well!! Thank you so much 💓
A foreigner could walk into this store and not realize that everything is secondhand.
Is that profile picture yandere simulator?
Yes. Many things looked like new. I guess secondhand doesn't always means "used". I Don't really think this cosmetics are all opened up and someone used it already.
My thoughts exactly 😆
They just make the place clear and alot light and decent any. guess over seas they always try be clean and look decent any compare to place in america some reason. not saying all thrift in america not decent but just different places is different setup to look right and suitable i guess. i been to thrift and where i go it decent and they try make place nice in a way and not so run down like other places might be any.

Everything looked so nice in that shop! The thrift stores around here are usually so... blah
Lol yea it’s kinda nice here
I wonder if it just a lifestyle i guess to make sure all look decent and nice kinda. but america it like a different world any lol.
Yeah it's like that here as well
Everything doesn't seem like it was taken care of :\
so... aaaaaauuuugggghhhhhew

When I went to Japan - no lie- I bought an extra suitcase while I was there to bring figures back. Soooooogoooodd
@@jellypopcorn good to know :3 I'll have to do that then!
That Fear of God jacket got me rethinking thrift stores in Japan
Hahaha you really loved it eh!
@@TokyoLensExplore "Fear of God" is a high-end streetwear/designer fashion brand so it's very surprising to see it in a thrift store
Guessing donater not want no more for any reason and why it priced so hi kinda unless they are like all thrift now and try go by ebay prices lol.
was not expecting to see a FOG jacket there, but there again I have literally found designer/hype beast items in thrift stores across asia before.
I found a Versace shirt at a Goodwill store, once, for $1. Of course, that was in the early 2000's, and near a wealthy neighborhood.
The timing for this is impeccable as I'm off to a thrift store now with my parents lol.
Hahaha beautiful!
Another proof that google is listening via your smartphone 😄
I’d dieeee if thrift stores in the US looked like this 😭
I work at a thrift store and I can say that when the stores grand open they look like this. Once they're open for a few months sometimes it's impossible to keep it that clean because of how we Americans are. Japanese people are always polite and clean over there.
I wished we had quality like that in Australia
Welp, there's another thing I didn't realize I was supposed to be jealous of Japan about.
That guitar is a Fernandez ZO-3 (ゾウサン) with a built in amp and speaker.
oh thank god he went back to the guitars lol almost closed the video out of spite when he glossed over that section the first time.
This is one of the things I miss most about Japan. The thrift stores are just AMAZING.
I love Japanese thrift stores, most of the items still have a really good quality.
I think it was in Morioka, up in Iwate, where a big 2 or 3 floor thrift store had loads of nerdy stuff and gaming related tech, I almost never left that place 😂
Thrift stores in Japan looks so awesome. Everything is clean and tidy!!
Second hand stores in Japan look so big and clean, over here in Germany it's usually really small stores that are crammed and you have to be careful to not knock anything over while you walk through it. Also we don't nearly have as much variety, I'm jealous :0
13:52 yeah, it's an air hockey table. that's the right word for it. 👍
I work at a thrift shop in Ontario Canada, and its insane to see so many games and toys of that quality. Normally at my shop we have customers fighting each other over a handful of games and toys just so they can resell them.
The variety always amazes me.
Camping supplies were looking good
"If you are missing the sound of Japan" I feel seen
I would buy so much things in there. I loved this so much.
It's amazing a lot of the stuff looks brand new, not even opened.
Oh man, that anime figure section would get my wallet in trouble lol! Thank you so much for showing this shop! Love thrift stores. This one looks amazing compared to some of the thrift stores here in the US. So jealous. 😆
😂 I love the false endings haha
I need to keep stores like this in mind when I come to Japan!
Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Thrift shopping is my favourite pastime, watching TH-cam comes a close second. Absolutely fascinating how they repackage some items!
Holy crap! Everything is laid out so neatly. I really like that.
Oh man! I LOVE thrift stores! My mom and I used to hit them up all the time. You never know what you'll find. My best find sofar has been my wedding dress, was brand new from the Disney princess collection fit me perfectly only $150! :D

I’d be looking at the toy section first every time lol, I’d be getting anything I’ve never seen before, like Toku toys

Everything in that store just looks in better condition than what I would expect to find in stores in the states. Impressive diversity of items.
A lot of it is admittedly really well taken care of

The second hand industry in Japan is awesome.
The balance thing you mentioned, we had one too for jumping, my brother and sister loved it
This is basically me in a thrift store. As soon as I'm checking out one thing, my eye spots another.

@6 minutes I remember it was called a PoGo Ball in the US mine was purple and green color
There are some beautiful guitars and love the double kick peddles
The cleanest and most organized 2nd hand store I've ever seen!
I would love the dishes , such a nice clean store !!
We have alot of second hand sotres in the netherlands, but you cant beat the quality and the organization of the japanese stores!
YAS! More thrift shop content! 🎉

I don't do much cooking but I'd definitely grab some cast iron. That would be worth adding to your camping kit.
if i could just shake off my computer addiction, i know i'd be out camping a lot like you because i've always LOVED camping lol
Saw your first video a few months back keep come back for more each day best way to relax after a long day of work ,Big love Tokyo Lens and your adventures
Very well kept…It looks like a fine shop!
Fascinating stuff, 1st time to watch a thrift store tour and wow!
Everything is so clean! I could spend thousands in here!
Cool video! I could spend the entire time in Japan in thrift stores.
MOST INCREDABLE CLEAN ANDD SO MANT CHOICES! JAPAN I LOVE YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE SO VERY MUCH! ARIGATO GOZI MASU!
So tidy compared to our rummaged-through local Goodwill store shelves. I'd totally get that french coffee press, too.
I just think it the lifestyle that they have certain ways of doing stuff. thrift places around america look rundown or not so decent or well lit any.
Love that shop. Want to see more thrift shops!
Omg the last part was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🐢🐇
Omg that Tigger and Pooh Bear clock my son freaked out over, lol. Japanese 2nd hand stores are 10xs better than US ones
what a cool van. nice stuff in thirft
This second hand store has an amazing selection
Immaculate second hand shop
Awesome video Norm, I’d love to see this second hand shop in person, and other stores, also to the second hand store Toy Planet
absolutely amazing❤️❤️❤️
This store was freaking amazing love from New Zealand 😍😍
I miss the second hand store we went to when we were in Japan, they had so many anime figures, it started my new obsession.
The guitar is a Fernandes ZO-3 Jamaican Beat Guitar with built-in speaker With soft Case F/S
great video, your videos are always fun to watch, I liked the fans that were in the store 😀 👍, I think I will buy myself a fan when I move to Japan 🇯🇵, again great video 📹 👍
As a not to closeted fan of racing, I was shocked to see a Benetton F1 bag at 4:41. And if I was Norm, I'd have nabbed it there and then.
I live in Nagano and I've never been to a 2nd street, I always end up at Hard off but this looks dope!
Definitely going to check it out. Nice video.
Lucky ass
Huge fan of the thrift store videos. I feel that thrifting in the US has been killed off for the most part by pickers and scalpers looking for their next big haul. Kinda sux in my area.
Woe! The van is awesome!
Ok this was cool as heck to see. As i have some thifting master sisters i will absolutely be sharing this with them.
The Fernandes ZO-3 travel guitar, is a good find, at $200-$250, as that style (Jamaican) is going for $750-$970ish, on EBay, though I saw a different style for $559.
If you see one with additional built in effects (knobs), it would be more.
The one with Pikachu style, is selling for about $4,200.
I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it but that small guitar with the built in amp is a fernandes nomad.
It's so clean there's nothing on the floor, so organized a beautiful place if there was a place like this here in the states me and my antique friend would shop all day there and spend hundreds of dollars just to know it looks so good to shop in. Lol thanks for sharing. Norm
Noted. Must go a'thriftin' in Japan :)
There are so many things in this video that I know would have me standing there going "hmm.. do I neeed it though..".
I just want one of those Japanese sword umbrellas and those portable steam iron for clothes.
You're excitement is contagious! Thank you for this video 😄
Thanks for watching~
I saw at least 20 things i want..i really wanna go to a japanese thrift store now. Also amazed at how everything looks like it’s in really good condition!
I would've definitely bought the Toad bento box, and then probably never used it haha
Hahaha almost did the same thing~
i live in a very wealthy japanese and korean area in usa and when they have a yard sales its like brand new and they basically give them away..i got a bag northface back pack like new for 10$, a hockey jersey for 10$ that i flipped for 130$ on eBay.....i love japan people =)
