Those who love go bargain-hunting are the ones who could benefit the most because the area can be a real mine of second-hand pearls, as long as you are patient enough to scrutinise racks full of clothes. The Japanese are great at mix-matching trends and styles and that\u2019s what makes a visit to Harajuku worthwhile.\r\n\r\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview ngg-ajax-pagination-none\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-4689-1\">\n\n    \t\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/harajuku-shopping\/Tokyo-Harajuku-Shopping-7950.jpg\"\n               title=\"\"\n               data-src=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/harajuku-shopping\/Tokyo-Harajuku-Shopping-7950.jpg\"\n               data-thumbnail=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/harajuku-shopping\/thumbs\/thumbs_Tokyo-Harajuku-Shopping-7950.jpg\"\n               data-image-id=\"2671\"\n               data-title=\"Tokyo Harajuku Shopping\"\n               data-description=\"\"\n               class=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"4689\">\n                <img\n                    title=\"Tokyo Harajuku Shopping\"\n                    alt=\"Tokyo Harajuku Shopping\"\n                    src=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/harajuku-shopping\/dynamic\/Tokyo-Harajuku-Shopping-7950.jpg-nggid042671-ngg0dyn-550x550x100-00f0w010c010r110f110r010t010.jpg\"\n                    width=\"550\"\n                    height=\"367\"\n                    style=\"max-width:none;\"\n                \/>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n                            \n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Pagination -->\n\t<div class='ngg-clear'><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\r\n\r\nMost of Harajuku\u2019s second-hand stores carry average brands, which make it a good choice for all kinds of budgets. (Upscale used-clothing and vintage stores\u00a0 are mostly located in the cool hip area of Omotesando).\r\n\r\nI spent a couple of afternoons exploring the area during my latest trip to Japan and below are my four picks of thrift stores in Harajuku. Their styles are very different but in all of them expect to find some good\u00a0 (and original) items for the most daring urban fashion outfits.\r\n\r\n<strong>SANTA MONICA<\/strong>\r\n\r\nA bit more sophisticate than the following choices, <a title=\"Santa Monica Harajuku\" href=\"http:\/\/www.harajuku-santamonica.com\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Monica<\/a> is consciously decorated following a unified style.\u00a0 It has a cozy atmosphere and the\u00a0stock is rather fresh and laid back; casual but hip.\u00a0 The items are in good condition and most of them look quite new.\r\n\r\n<div
