Record stores in Tokyo
Record shops reward the patient digger. Tokyo, Tokyo has 122 mapped right now. That's 122 record shops mapped around Tokyo. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Check the grading before you pay — a visual grade and a play grade are two different things.
This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Tokyo (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Time Machine and カラオケ館, plus カラオケの鉄人. If a record shop's missing from Tokyo's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about record stores in Tokyo
49 of the 122 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.
47 have websites listed. Worth a look for new-arrival posts and want-list services.
There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on 2, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
14 of the shops are tagged as selling used vinyl — the dollar bins and used wall are where the real digging happens.
The Tokyo record crawl
Plot these on a map and the day plans itself: Time Machine, カラオケ館, カラオケの鉄人, ディスクユニオン, Face Records, ツタヤ(TSUTAYA), ディスクユニオン, and TSUTAYA. That's 122 stops on the Tokyo record crawl. 114 more are listed below.
Record digging tips for Tokyo
How the regulars work Tokyo's bins:
- Check for box sets at Time Machine. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
- Note the shop's specialties at カラオケ館. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
- Check the dead wax. The runout groove holds matrix numbers that identify pressings. Collectors live by these; a quick phone search settles it.
- Check Discogs before big purchases. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Tokyo — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Tokyo can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 122 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 122 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Record store listings for Tokyo: 122 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
