*What Would YOU Have Bought? Join the discussion!!* - WHERE IS IT?!?! It's in the description BUT... It's not the only one in the area!!! PLENTY To

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.

[With_Me_JAPAN]

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!✨

[Sbeas]

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.

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!

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 😂.

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.

[BrandonB...]

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!

[DeathyD]

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!

[sarahramos]

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!

[richardwilliams]

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

Dream come true at 30yrs old flying from Scotland to Japan for the first time, I've got my eye on those boxed N64 games :)

[weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

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 😊

[ActualLiliCakes]

I appreciate that you at least looked at the clothes section for us despite not caring much for the section yourself. There's so much there!

[michaellee]

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!

[erices]

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

[hamamatsucho]

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.

[FeiYenKnDna]

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

[eboyblackout]

Please keep doing more of this! It should never end, trust me we can follow you just to watch this for hours! Please dont stop this series

[disinterestedrdprty]

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.
