Recycle Gallery News Karasuyama is one of the larger recycle shops you’ll come across in Tokyo and offers some pretty good thrifting for those with enough patience to sift the entire store. The two-storey shop is like a giant warehouse filled with all sorts of bits and bobs ranging from used furniture to full-on working appliances like refrigerators and washing machines.
The first floor is where you'll find a large selection of antiques, ceramics, Japanese tableware and home appliances. There's also a musical instrument section and an area dedicated to secondhand clothing. Larger furniture pieces such as bed frames, tables and couches are available upstairs.
If you’re someone who’s just moved to Tokyo, this would be a good spot to pick up some affordable items to fill your new home. The shop even offers a free one-hour rental of a small truck if you need some help to bring your things home with you (available only for purchases of ¥5,000 or more).
The shop can be reached in under 30 minutes from Shibuya and is just a ten-minute walk from Chitose-Karasuyama Station.
