Best Record store in japan

M	Mattia Traverso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really cool place. The staff was super friendly and gave me a few recommendations too! You can listen to records in the store before you buy them which is very nice.
R	Raphael VIGNES on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Selection is quite weak. If you collect used record in rock there is barely nothing for you there, go somewhere else! Used vinyl selection is very small & poor compared to other shops in japan. This shop mostly provides for new music in a rather generalist way, but nothing really interesting for the collectors or specialists here.
H	Harvey Saward on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great shop. Had been to the Tokyo store previously and Kyoto store has much bigger range of 2nd hand goodies. Especially good for indie and had a good selection of kraut-rock. Seems to be hand-picked for quality so less junk to go through here than a lot of stores. Fair prices though and very friendly staff.
S	Stephen Coyner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An incredible selection of records from all genres both Japanese and international. Also an amazing selection of hip hop promo records from the 90s in the $3 and under bin. One of the beat record stores I’ve seen anywhere
c	carlos nascimento on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good record store to buy vinyl and cds. The selection is good on soul/jazz/rock but not so much if you're looking for dance/techno/electronica. There isn't much of a second hand zone apart from some crates outside the store where you can get vinyl for around 300¥. The price for the new editions seems a bit high tho.
O	Ow Melvin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best hiphop, funk, soul, breaks, groove record store in Kyoto! Cool staff who knows the ledge & there are sample vinyl for you to try out the music on their decks. Ask them for a 45 adaptor if you wanna try their 45 samples. Lotsa rare gems to be discovered here.
T	Two Dee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good selection but unlike other comments I didn't have friendly or helpful service (lots of record store workers are similar). I'll post a pic of the sign of their rules they displayed which are fair but I was told I couldn't listen to new records, only used. I straight up indicated I wanted to buy a 4000 yen 2LP without listening. Then I just wanted to check a 12" remix (90s hip hop) was the version I was seeking. I was only allowed to look at the disc which I discovered was a new reissue (hence no listening allowed for me). When I opened it the paper insert was folded over & both sides of the cover came right apart (old/not enough glue?). I lived in Japan 3 yrs so I know the culture but I wonder if it was an anti foreigner thing. There were 3 Aussies in a row incl me. If they'd let me listen to more discs I would've spent a lot more. So, quite disappointing after a Japanese friend highly recommended it.
J	J J on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I shop here online from Canada (a few times now) and always had good service. They also stock lots of great stuff I can't find anywhere else. Shipping prices are fair and they usually arrive rather quickly from Japan (out of their control for the most part but it's still good). Will be a returning customer for sure. Thank you <3
