if i had to guess, that wooden box with the turn table (or lazy susan for us north americans sometimes term it as) is probably for bonsai trees to turn periodically so it gets even sunlight distribution on the tree's different sides.
One thing that really strikes me is just how impeccably clean and organized it all is for the sheer size of the place and variety of what they have. A typical thrift store only a fraction of the size here in the west always has that feeling of a bomb having gone off in it by comparison.
This is the hugest thrift store I’ve ever seen! With Norm’s excitement, it felt like I was treasure hunting there😆Easily half a day can be spent there looking around all the great stuff! Thank you for the fun shopping video, I really want to visit there!✨
ITS MASSIVE!! And I noticed that you just released a video IN THE SAME SLEEP POD place that I did hahaha That's awesome!! It was pretty cool eh? Keep up the great work~ And you should definitely visit!
We are here once more with Norm's Thrift store adventures that makes me wish anything like this was in my country, even if its a tiny fraction of it... And not the ones that are just tvs, fridges and else.
LETS GOOO!!! Idk why but I have a passion for thrift stores. The idea of suddenly finding something I've wanted as a bargain, or even something I didn't even KNOW I wanted is amazing, so every time you upload one I like to share your passion for the stuff you see from a distance 😂.
Time to start adding all those locations you showed up so far to my list since I finally will visit Japan early next year. Also, your excitement is always the best part of your videos!
I love these thrift store adventures! The Pyrex prices are insane though having grown up with them being considered “old-fashioned” at the time. I love that they’re still treasured. And all the model trains…! Thank you for the visual feast! Take care!
I've been to Japan, China, all over Western Europe, the US, and Canada and I can honestly say I've never seen a store quite like that in my entire life!
These places are DEADLY. Not in the sense that you'll get lost and starve (though that's also easily possible), but you'll end up bringing back suitcases full of stuff 😂 Bought back like 3 suitcases full of toys 2 years in a row, haha. Hope you're doing well, Norm!! :D
Another great Tokyo Lens Video. I've always loved thrift shops, or as we call them here in the UK 2nd hand shops/charity shops. That excitement of never knowing what treasures you might find. When I last visited Japan I had a friend that took me to some large and I mean LARGE Bookoff Super Bazaars and other recycle shops in Chiba but this one in your video is like the cave of wonders from Aladdin. I'll definitely be spending a day there in the future. Thanks for ruining my bank balance Norm! /j ;D
That puzzle art at 7:55 is by Yoshitaka Amano, who is famously known for doing most of the art for the Final Fantasy series as well as Vampire Hunter D!
I have NEVER seen a thrift store that size before, not even an eighth that size. It's like a mega supermarket!! I'm astounded at what can be sold too. I've managed three different charity shops in the UK. That is absolutely Insane!!! My favourite section is always the bricabrac as you never know what you'll find to be able to use ❤ Your excitement was catching, so wonderful to see such enthusiasm 😊
Norm I think you have found a very happy place for you. I think I would lose a week or more in someplace like that just wandering around. Well organized and clean what a great store. I shudder to think of the amount of the real estate for all of that stuff to all occupy since it was all one level it appeared. Not a small amount. Thanks for taking us on another journey to entice us on the merits of Japan.
Always loved the second hand stores in Japan. Got me so many Manga, games and merch back in the day during my couple months in Japan and been browsing there every week. Guess having had multiple Book Off locations right by the stations on my daily commute did not help much in not finding myself browsing for too long.
2:02 oh man. Core memory unlocked. My roommate in Fukuoka bought a used N64 in 97 or 98. Two games. Mario 64 and that. I loved it. Being a bit older, I was just stunned by the N64. And I loved the soundtrack for Waverace
There are a few Book Off stores in Southern California but the one I visited was a fraction of the size of the amazing store you filmed; that was bonkers! The store I visited only sold books, manga, Cds, Dvds, anime figures, cards and collectibles. 🤗
wow, you could spend weeks in that store and not see it all! I love how neat and orderly it all is, such a difference from what we have in the west. I would have to go everyday and take it section by section, I would need to see all the things! so cool, thanks Norm!
17:09 Maybe something at the Super Sentai section just beside the Pokemon cards aisle..or at the Kamen Rider toy section..but all in all, that thrift store is awesome! 😄😍
3:22 Hey! A little Canadian Content (besides your good self)! My parents flew Wardair a couple of times to Hawaii. They always said it was a lot of fun. The cabin crew really got into the whole vacation vibe. Also, real meals on real plates with real cutlery!
I want to do a thrift store adventure with you one of these days. Got all the secret spots. That's freakin sweet Norm. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are doing well.
I love to see people's carts when they do videos exploring shops, if you don't wanna lug them around while recording it'd be cool to have a quick section at the end showing what you bought at home/studio.
Oh wow, that’s the biggest thrift store I’ve ever seen. I feel like you could get lost for days there and still find all sorts of new things the whole time 🤣 Thanks for bringing us along! 😊
This video made me realize - if you want to get to know what a person likes, bring them to a thrift store! Lots of nostalgia and options that aren't just whatever's popular right now
Wow, I've toured many book offs during my stays in Japan, but never seen one this huge! Totally have to go to it on the last day of my future trip there, haha!
Watching late but I love this. Everything so well cared for and organized. It’s overwhelming! I would definitely become exhausted and leave with nothing😂
I picked up some Tomica/Tomy diecast JDM cars from BookOff Little Tokyo today for $5 each. We also have BookOffs in Gardena/Torrance, though the retro game and Gunpla/figures are a bit overpriced. Scored some dope Patlabor/Iria/GitS/Bubblegum Crisis OST CDs a while back when they were still cheap.
Toku! Give me all the tokusatsu toys!!! This place is so cool, with how much stuff they have it feels like it'd be twice as big as a walmart, what amazing variety and insane quality!
The surfboards got an audible "oh!" out of me. I haven't surfed in about 15 years but I still love looking at boards when I go to places that sell them.
Seeing this huge thrift store makes me kinda sad that my local thrift store, and other retails stores are not as organize. I feel like in the last 10 years there's been a big shift towards quantity over quality shopping experiences so it's hard to find organized stores that you can actually find what you're looking for
Heading to Japan in January for my first time and this is the type of store me and my cousin are looking forward to hitting up. I actually notice you out your hand on something I am actually hoping to find
Watched this video about a week ago. Im going to Japan late October and i made it a priority to stop in this place thanks to this video. I will be staying near the airport but on the other side of the river for the last two days and I will walk over to check the place out.
@@MBOG808 its called Bookoff Super Bazaar. This is is located Southwest of Haneda Airport on the other side of the river. GPS coords are 35.533469189535566, 139.71797102938189
Always enjoy your thrifting videos! Hahah, I think that's one of the largest Book-off's I've seen! It's probably one of my favorite places to get used manga and Pokemon cards for my nephews :)!
Ooooh, this looks so much fun! The vinyls, DBZ and Pokémon stuff, along with some of the handbags and glass trinkets caught most of my attention, but I would probably spend hours here just trying to narrow down what to buy lol. Also, I love the robot, it’s amusing and adorable.
I can't wait to go to Japanese Thrift stores again! Only three weeks to survive until I'm back! The one we usually go is also pretty huge and it has a nice view of Mt Fuji
Subscribed just to promote the channel, it is a lot of effort you put on these videos! Planning to get a sailing license, found your channel, ended up watching weird summer tech in here hehe. Congrats
To answer your question, yes you do need a typewriter lol. Japan actually made some amazing models of typewriter that hold up well even today. I run a typewriter club in the U.S. and I have 7 or 8 Japanese machines and they can take a beating from the kids at the events. Love your channel, wish we had places like this in the U.S.
I always love it when you have one of these videos. I can see things getting out of hand with your brother =-) considering the sheer amount of everything in each of these stores, and as you mention how good the condition is of many of the items, how could you not? Its not like we have anything even remotely close here in Canada to shop even a fraction of the products. Looking forward to the next one.
How is it so neat and clean? In the U.S., I don't even expect retail stores to be that organized and presentable. Wow. The tourism industry needs to be sponsoring these videos.
Wooooow this is a huge store!! I’d love to do buy all the used cloth and fashion show at home lol always enjoy thrift shop series❤ Thanks for finding a great spot and sharing with us🤩
That is the biggest thrift store I have ever seen and the quality of the items that you have shown looks really good unlike many thrift store that I have seen
@@TokyoLensThe store also looks neat and clean. The store I've been to just places their products randomly so I couldn't really search for any specific product
The Movies and CDs and Books sections has me drooling. I go thrifting every day, but we just have Goodwills around me and they have nothing on thrift stores like this.
Awesome video Norm! I've been looking at the possibility of going to Japan later next year, and I definitely will be dropping into one of those thrift stores, they look like the kinda places that will actually make me spend money haha
I clicked on this video to see if you were going to show any Super Sentai (japanese power rangers) and you did! Well not really as it is just in the background at 0:04 where u see some ryusoulger (season 43) and zenkaiger (season 45) stuff. I wonder how popular the show really is as most people who go to japanese stores only show stuff like pokemon, doraemon and other anime only along with some Nintendo, kamen rider and ultraman. Would love you telling me more about this thanks ;)
Love your Japanese shop videos, this thrift shop is incredible 😁. I would definitely be going round with a shopping trolley/cart so I can get loads of stuff 😂
@@anthonynelson6671 The second I saw all those anime figures, I was like I would happily empty my bank account in this shop, and then all that Lego too 🤣
Omg, I just moved to Niigata last Friday and I am so motivated to check out all the thrift stores in town thanks to your videos, keep it up! I wonder if the thrift stores will be slightly different in a less tourist-y area 😅
2:05 - Whoa, really? I really like Wave Race myself D: Very soft music, awesome waves. Smooth experience! That and Pilotwings 64 is like cozy day games ^_^ 8:18 - drools at the typewriters 12:52 - It's always funny to hear Smörgåsbord being so widespread in use x3 14:45 - 100 000 YEN is 7415,47 SEK, or 740€~ 16:45 - Is that Kikaider I see? Just make me wonder if the Space Arcade Mecha Pack Vol 1 or what it was called is there. I'd so very much want to get my hands on AS Valken Unit.. End: I think it's pretty neat ^^ 19:33 - Ahh! Robo-chan!
Pierce Brosnan is my favourite James Bond as well. I grew up watching but not really understanding Remington Steele but it was my favourite show and I ever convinced my parents to name my sister Laura, after Laura Holt.
Wow, that's a massive thrift shop! There was so much it was actually overwhelming. Idon't know what I'd buy, but I'd definitely like to visit the gaccha section! I love the idea of Shimayama-san's shop pins, I can't wait to see them!
I don't know how, I don't know why, but somehow my previously-not-even-remotely-interested-in-Japan parents stumbled across this video and have agreed on a family trip to Tokyo SPECIFICALLY from this video. I thank you deeply, you have changed the entire dynamic of my family for the better.
I love going to the thrift stores here in Australia. I get some great clothes items that would have otherwise gone to landfill. So I'm grateful to be saving these items. I also love getting cheap fantasy books from the thrift store as well for 5-10 dollars each. Next time I'm in Japan I will definitely go to more thrift stores. Can't wait for my next trip with my husband.
Norm, you found my heaven. I would live here and spend every penny I have. My 3 trips to Japan required leaving clothes behind to make space for retrogames and vinyl, worth it :)

What would I have bought? Yes! Lol a little bit of everything probably 😅
Which branch is this at? Thank you
maybe out of fashion but i like to get japanese editions of western CD releases, would apreciate at least a minute spent on those
I think the question is what would I not have bought? I'd go broke if that was near me

nearly any thrift store here in Georgia, USA, is going to look like it was ransacked.
Japan in a nutshell.
Thank ふくふくん for that
The Japanese just have so much respect for everything especially cleanliness. That's just one of the qualities they have amongst quite a few others.
It’s levels of degree of worship of consumerism. Unfortunately Japan is probably one of the worst in the world for that
This is the hugest thrift store I’ve ever seen! With Norm’s excitement, it felt like I was treasure hunting there😆Easily half a day can be spent there looking around all the great stuff! Thank you for the fun shopping video, I really want to visit there!✨

The turntable device you were looking at, I think it is for working on / trimming bonsai trees. It makes it easier to trim around the tree/ plant.

Thank you so much for putting the location in the description!! I actually went to that store to check them out. It was indeed HUGE!

I need to visit this! That tokusatsu section was something else, it had everything both current and previous series.

i can't believe it! i've been to this book off a couple of times on my last japan visit!!!
need to get back there 🥰
omg i love these videos, i hope i will be able visit japan too one day! great video :D
I don't know how, I don't know why, but somehow my previously-not-even-remotely-interested-in-Japan parents stumbled across this video and have agreed on a family trip to Tokyo SPECIFICALLY from this video. I thank you deeply, you have changed the entire dynamic of my family for the better.
I love going to the thrift stores here in Australia. I get some great clothes items that would have otherwise gone to landfill. So I'm grateful to be saving these items. I also love getting cheap fantasy books from the thrift store as well for 5-10 dollars each. Next time I'm in Japan I will definitely go to more thrift stores. Can't wait for my next trip with my husband.
Thanks for Thrift Store tour! There were a lot of interesting stuff! Pokémon cards, games, toys and other things.
This is going on my list of places to go to on my next trip with at least half day dedicated to wandering the isles
Theres a Bookoff Super Bazaar in Nagoya, in Sakae. Not quite as big but nearly.
Norm, you found my heaven. I would live here and spend every penny I have. My 3 trips to Japan required leaving clothes behind to make space for retrogames and vinyl, worth it :)
and its only one of many in the area!!
Awwww, man... That place sounds awesome. Makes me wish I could visit Japan again. Keep up the great videos, Norm.
I could not be left there unattended! LOL! Thrifter's Heaven!
