Disk Union Shimokitazawa CD Record Store

This is one of the best record stores I’ve visited in Tokyo, especially if you enjoy digging through vinyl with a clear and well-organized layout. The Shimokitazawa branch is spacious, bright, and categorized extremely well — Jazz, Rock, Soul/Blues, Japanese releases, Anime soundtracks, and a huge New Arrivals section. The selection is massive and well-priced, with clear condition labels on every item. You can easily spend hours browsing without feeling overwhelmed. What made my visit even better was the staff. I was looking for several specific vinyl records, and one of the staff members patiently helped me search through multiple sections, one by one. With so many categories in the store, it could have been impossible to find them myself — but he still went the extra mile. Truly one of the friendliest and most helpful service experiences I’ve had in a record shop. If you’re a vinyl collector, a music lover, or someone searching for Japanese editions, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended.

Had visited this Disk Union outpost in Shimokitazawa, in April and December 2024. Great selection of Jazz and other genre records and fair pricing. A recommended stop if you are record shopping in Tokyo.

Amazing place for used records hunting. There are a lot of hidden gems here. I managed to come across Mariya Takeuchi’s Plastic Love LP here, even though the price is steep, however the selection is amazing!

Great selection of used R&B vinyls in decent quality and even better staff, who are patient, kind and very helpful to foreigners. Unlike Tower records shinjuku.

One of the best record stores in Tokyo.

staff were incredibly nice, the selection is top-tier and the prices are VERY good. Saw many new western album imports so they stay up to date. WILL COME HERE AGAIN.

Loved It. New used hip hop, funk, R&B, tones of house and techno, giant rock/ pop/ else. LOVED IT.

Good jazz and soul selection, reasonable priced. The staff are helpful and friendly.
