HYST

“Since I'm in the neighborhood, I often go there in the evenings to check out products I'm interested in on Instagram. I often buy interior decorations and glasses. The staff are all very warm and welcoming, and it is a relaxing space where you can spend time in a relaxed atmosphere. It's only open on Saturdays, so there's a line of customers waiting to open, but by mid-afternoon you can have a relatively leisurely time browsing. The second floor also has second-hand clothing, as well as furniture, paintings, tableware, and accessories, which are a lot of fun to look at. Although they are closed on weekdays, you can often see them working hard in front of the store, taking care of the furniture. It seems that they not only purchase antiques and sell them as is, but also modify them. I feel love for things. I recommend visiting once to see why it's so popular.”

“A secondhand store that is open every Saturday and sells quality used items from Japan. He has a great sense of style, and I'm always impressed by the layout of the sales fixtures, and the fixtures and merchandise are also wonderful. However, recently it has become so crowded that I have been keeping my distance. I think it's a good idea to ask ahead of time if there's something special about the product that's announced on Instagram. People line up an hour before the store opens, so if you really want an old item, you may have to line up at least two hours before the store opens. I started lining up an hour early, but there were already about 3 customers in front of me, so I couldn't get the goods I was looking for. Hohoho. But it's a fun experience every time.”

“I visited HYST's pot-up in Aoyama for just one day. (HYSTRIUM) I was surprised at how busy it was even though it was a weekday. Old, good things were available at reasonable prices. I bought two chairs and a lamp for the projector. Arranging delivery is also easy. All the store staff were very nice and I had a good shopping experience. The room was a bit dark and it was difficult to see the products, but he moved to the balcony and took a closer look. Next time, I would like to ask people from Bakurocho as well. postscript [2023.5.13] I went to Bakurocho! ! Saw it on Instagram The big mirror is wonderful♡ There might be a line, so I advised them to go early. It opened at 11am, so I arrived there around 10am. (Actually, I was aiming for 9:45) It was an hour ago, but there were 4 groups in front of me in line. First, the clerk will ask you what you are looking for today. “It’s a mirror!” When you say this, the person in front of you in line will tell you that there is no rival and will tell you the details of the mirror. (There is a leg attached to the back of the mirror, and if you try to stand it up straight, the leg will be longer, so if you are going to put it in the entryway, you should remove the leg. Also, you may be able to remove the leg with a Phillips screwdriver.) He took a picture and explained it to me.) I'll give you some pineapple candy while you wait. As soon as you enter, a staff member will come to you and explain about the products. Also, if there is something you want, please don't leave your spot and raise your hand to call for a store employee. A peaceful world without conflicts. Today, it's the lady wearing Tanjiro pattern pants. The girl who was in charge of the cash register when I bought a chair last time was cute. The guy who gave me the pineapple candy was a guy who looks like a Komondor (dog breed). The person who served me the last time I bought a chair. Although he looks tough, he is polite and smiling. The other day I wore my hair tied up, but today I let it down, so I looked like a Komondor. In addition to the mirror, I bought a bag, a necklace, and snowshoes (things you put on your sandals when walking in the snow). The snowshoes are there as a display, but are they at the cash register? When I asked Tanjiro's older sister, she politely explained to me. We display snowshoes at the entrance. I'm deeply moved.”

“My wife bought a retro sewing box. One of the two candidates was exactly the same as the sewing box at my parents' house. There are also other products that look like something you'd find at your parents' home. I arrived 30 minutes before opening and there were about 10 people in line. While you're waiting for the store to open, the store staff will tell you where the products you're looking for are displayed.”

“One of the best shopping experience I’ve had in Tokyo. Hand selected antiques that are very unique, not over priced, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.”
