Watch Shopping: Is it Worth Your time to Visit Japanese Recycle Shops?

Looking for used watches while visiting Japan? 🇯🇵⌚** Japanese recycle shops are something I think watch enthusiasts visiting Japan should know about. Think of them as a kind of *brick-and-mortar eBay* — you can find watches alongside clothing, electronics, games, jewelry, and all kinds of other secondhand goods. In this video, I visit *Second Street in Yamashina, Kyoto* to see what the experience is actually like and share what I learned. The website can be useful for searching inventory, but I found it pretty frustrating at times. I'll show you some of the basic functions, but I'll also explain why I think *Google Maps and your existing travel itinerary* may be the easier way to find a store worth visiting. If you're visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, or elsewhere in Japan, this could be an interesting way to hunt for a **JDM Seiko, Citizen, Casio, G-Shock, or another used watch**. ⏱️ Chapters *00:54 — 01 — Opening* *01:58 — 02 — Second Street Yamashina* *04:12 — 03 — Travel Recommendations* *06:10 — 04 — Japan Domestic Watches* Times will be updated once the final edit is complete. The selection will vary from store to store. You can expect to see plenty of **Casio and G-Shock**, while other brands and specific models can be much more hit or miss. And remember, secondhand inventory can change quickly. This is what *I learned* from trying it myself. If you learned something cool from this video, let me know in the comments. Maybe you've found a better way to hunt for watches in Japan, or you've discovered something I haven't. *Let's all help each other learn.
