A local would say...

A warren of independent vintage stalls under one roof, deep in Shimokitazawa's secondhand backstreets.

You'll dig through this multi-vendor secondhand complex tucked in the Kitazawa backstreets of Shimokitazawa, where a clutch of independent vintage and used-clothing stalls share one ramshackle building. Each booth has its own taste — faded Americana, retro denim, oddball accessories — so the hunt feels like flipping through a dozen tiny shops at once. It is exactly the kind of low-key, locals-first rummage that makes Shimokitazawa Tokyo's secondhand capital.
