Flash Disc Ranch

Open since the early 1980s in Shimokitazawa, this was one of the first places I ever worked. They’re a pioneer of Tokyo’s secondhand American record market, and the owner has a deep knowledge of US music and travels there frequently. They boast a wide range of records centered on rock and R&B, and the owner will help guide beginners through everything. I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to find good quality records across all sorts of genres. They set some very precious records at great prices, so you’ll get a lot within your budget.
