If any store can aptly represent the retro mood of Shimokitazawa, it's this place. It's a veritable labyrinth of magazines, books, and curios that will make both expats and Japanese swoon with nostalgia. You can get lost in here and no maps are available so it's a good idea to go browsing when you've got a lot of time. Old toys, books, snacks, and even soda pop are available. Take one wrong step and you'll knock something over without that musty smell that most second hand shops have. You can spend hours in there.
