Second-hand Goods in Tokyo, Japan

In Japan, "off' stores are known as second-hand communities. 'Here' in 'EcoTown' the goods were bought and sold, even the 'Brandname'. And that's the point! Buy it here, at the cheapest price!

EcoTown is located in Hachioji, Tokyo. 

The building itself separates each type of goods on each floor. They've covered all the goods way more than one person ever might need, or 'way beyond that'. Here the goods range from electronics, clothing, bag, antiques, bicycle, post-its, paper, notebooks, or even toys. Or even plates, trays, and other home stuff to decorate your grandmother's kitchen.

But how they organized the goods? Well, they have a 'chains' system.

"Off" store chains can also be found in the same area, where each type of good was represented differently.

For example, 'Book Off' serves a second-hand bookstore, and 'Hard-Off' serves the electronics, such as DVD players and instruments. 'Off house' for the furniture, 'Hobby Off' for fun things like toys, figures, cards, and models. 'Mode Off' services for clothing! and 'Liquor Off' for alcohol, selling unopened bottles of alcohol with a discount.

And Of course! it's not hard to find.

EcoTown is located in Tokyo, in the city called 'Hachioji' which the most convenient transportation choice in Japan the Train station can lead you from the center of Tokyo to here with only one transfer! The EcoTown was only 30 minutes away from the station.

So, bring your recycled shopping bag and wipes off the shelves. YOU NEED IT!
