Nice store, and the little blurbs on a lot of the new release cassettes were fun to read. There isn’t much in terms of Japanese popular music from the 70s and 80s, but the selection of Western music of all sorts is excellent, as well as cutting-edge experimental/indie releases from both Japan and the West. A quick etiquette recommendation on what not to do: this was a few years back, but I spent a long while (probably more than a half-hour), trying to figure out what to buy while looking up reviews and listening to album snippets online. The owner and I ended up having an ever-so-slightly tense conversation about that. Apparently, it seems that some people just take notes while window shopping to later download pirated copies. At that time, I was a bit displeased at the insinuation, but looking back, it's understandable. I ended up putting away the phone and purchasing a few tapes based on nothing but feeble intuition and those cute little blurb cards. The owner's wife kindly answered my questions, and I ended up satisfied with the tapes I chose. The quality of the tapes, both new and used, was good, too. As an aside, it seems that there are some new requirements to help deal with corona, so make sure to check them at the door.

Lovely place with a very relaxed ambience inside the store. It is a nice 10 minutes walk away from the station. Features a good selection of cassettes and also players. Wished I could buy one of those players back. Owner was very friendly! Hope to visit again to have a proper chat!
Time machine shop. Very well curated cassette tapes (!) Including new releases from their own label, vinyls and music magazines. About 10min walk from hip Nakameguro station.
Amazing store for retro music enthusiasts. A large array of old and new cassettes and records as well as a choice selection of refurbished boomboxs and walkmen. Staff are friendly and speak English (from my experience). Definitely would recommend!
Found all the goods here. The owner was nice enough to even find my favorite Fugazi tape! Love this spot.
