    Here in Kyushu, this recycle shop called Second Street often has outdoor stuff. Both used and overstock new items. No guarantees the locations in Tokyo will also carry outdoor equipment, but it's worth a try. It really depends on what people sell to them. A Shinjuku location is opening in a couple weeks (link), but there are other locations in Tokyo. https://www.2ndstreet.jp/shop/details?shopsId=31213

    For outdoor goods, OFF HOUSE would be your best bet. They specialize in home wares, outdoor supplies, etc. Here's the locations in Tokyo that sell outdoor / camping goods: https://www.hardoff.co.jp/shop/kanto/tokyo/offhouse/307/ You could also try HARD OFF if you can't get to an OFF HOUSE. In places where real estate is more expensive, HARD OFF acts as an umbrella store for most second hand goods.

    My first thoughts were also the Hard Off/Off House chain stores. Lots of them around the city and into the 'burbs. They're the main recycle shops I've used, but when you say outdoor stores are there specific things you're looking to purchase? Camping supplies? Hiking gear?

    Hello Genkidensu, My interest would be in Backpack - when possible ultralight one, although it would be difficult as lighter equipment tend to break easily :-) ... And it can be used as additional storage to go back home, as check in baggage Anyway, as beginner in outdoor activities, anything related would be interesting for me

    Did you find somewhere? FWIW I also add my vote to Second Street! Its great for camping gear. We actually bought ours new as we plan to use it for a very long time, but I got ideas in Second Street of what kind of things we needed and I was surprised by the great condition of the used goods.

    There are several used goods stores in Tokyo, Second Street and Off House being two of the most popular ones. You can also try buying online as there are a lot of people that sell goods at the cheapest prices (and sometimes free!). You can check out Sayonara Sale and Tokyo Craigslist.

Quality Japan content Tiktok?

I have succumbed to Tiktok...Forgive me. When I first started engaging with Tiktok Lite, a lot of Japanese content was pushed to me by the algorythm. Some good, some junk. My favorite right now is こねこフィルム/ CONECO FILM, a producer of shorts that are absurd, funny, and touching. Have you found some excpeptional Japanese content on Tiktok? Especially content that provides you with Japanese listening comprehension, cultural insights, or off-the-beaten-path travel destinations?

What are you doing without?

Ever heard of the saying "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without"? I feel like it's ever-appropriate these days. Are there things that you're trying (or having) to do without, given the cost of living increases? I haven't bought new clothes in quite a while, and I feel like when we first moved here that was something I often did, almost like a hobby. These days I might not be the trendiest, but I use the clothes I have, and I guess I'm more comfortable in my style.

Family, friends -- how often (if at all) do they visit you here?

I'm from Australia originally, and I'm fortunate that we have budget airline carriers that fly direct to Japan, so it's relatively easy and not too expensive for family and friends to visit me here. How difficult is it for your loved ones from home to visit you here? Have you had many opportunities to show people around, or has it been fairly slim pickings in the visitors stakes for you?
