Disk Union Record Shinjuku Record Store

A great store with a great collection of different music genres you can think of; rock, punk, soul, jazz, indie and so on. The prices are reasonable and everything is sorted neatly.

Disk Union’s Shinjuku Record Store is a landmark for Tokyo’s music lovers, occupying a distinctive corner building in Shinjuku. Its angular, multi-floor layout makes it hard to miss, with bold red signage and windows packed with vinyl displays. Inside, each floor is genre-dedicated—jazz, rock, punk, soul, and Japanese pressings—all meticulously organized. The atmosphere is intense but welcoming, with knowledgeable staff and constant turnover of rare and collectible records. It’s both a crate-digger’s paradise and a collector’s haven. Whether you’re hunting obscure imports or classics in pristine condition, this store feels like a curated museum of analog music culture. This is advertised as a four floor building but every time I go to 2F, I always tend to stay there. I believe this is their flagship location. The QR code will take you to video footage that includes every Disk Union site in Shinjuku. Apologies for the 720p footage but those are the restrictions set by Google. Used albums on the first floor and movies and books and heavy metal records on the second floor.

Disk Union is probably the best record store chain in the world, and this particular one is a contender for my favorite - amazing selection of mostly used records that are very fairly priced. Visiting is always an experience and you never leave empty-handed. In a way, i’m happy i dont live closeby, because I could spend my life savings here.

Awesome collection to search through. Staff were very helpful.

Disk Union is the best record store I've visited anywhere in the world. Deep selection, fair pricing, and friendly staff. It took me 3-4 hours to dig through all of their locations in Shinjuku; it was a fun afternoon! Some details to keep in mind: Each floor of each of their locations is basically its own record store; you check out separately before moving to the next floor, and while each floor is largely dedicated to a genre, they each have general sections and small sections devoted to other genres (e.g. Soul sections in the various Rock floors), so make sure to take time to visit them all.

This is a great record store for browsing. There are a lot of good records that can be found here.
