Quality Used Japanese Cameras at Bargain Prices? 4 Used Camera Shops in Tokyo!

Shinjuku Other Shopping

You just can't beat Japan's used camera shops: the owners are uncompromising in accepting only quality used merchandise, much of which will look practically new. Body blemishes and other minor defects are also plainly displayed so buyers know exactly what they are getting. And the prices? Well, you'll just have to read on to believe! Here we'll introduce four camera shops selling used cameras (as well as new ones) that are very popular with all types of camera buffs: those looking for good old ones, those looking for the latest digital cameras, those interested in compact film cameras with superior designs, and those looking for classic and vintage cameras. These shops have something for everyone - some even have cameras that are not even on the market and are sought after by collectors. These four shops sell Japanese cameras and are particularly popular with foreign visitors as they also have duty-free sales.

Kurayami Gohan – Experiencing the Dinner in the Dark

Asakusa Culture Experience

It was time, the day had finally come: once more I stood in front of the modern building that was Ryokusen-ji. From the outside, you likely wouldn’t guess that a calm and atmospheric Buddhist temple awaited behind the big sliding doors – and a one of a kind experience along with it. I had waited several weeks to be a part of Kurayami Gohan, or the Dinner in the Dark, hosted by the temple’s head monk Kakuho Aoe, who also goes by the nickname of the Cooking Monk. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing him before my actual Buddhist dinner experience, learning of the philosophy of the event and of the multitalented monk himself.

The Sapporo Clock Tower is one of the more popular sightseeing spots in the city.
