Second hand stores in Osaka

What good Second hand stores do you know in or around the Osaka area. While the -Off places are good and all, what I'm really looking for is the medium sized ones that seem like they have some uncovered treasure...

    Have you tried the Nakazaki-cho area, maybe around 10 mins walk from Umeda station? I've heard there a lot of small stores around there that could be good for turning up some treasure.

    How about マンガ倉庫, manga soukou? About half way between Osaka and Kyoto. Web: http://mangasouko-takatsuki.com/

    Nakazakicho does have some good stores, but they tend to be really pricey. I've found KINJI to be the closest thing to thrift stores in the US. It's in the Big Step building in Amemura.

    Really depends on the kind of stuff you want to buy, if you're interested in manga, games, figures and such, Mandarake (one in Umeda and one in Amemura, around Nanba) is really nice, good prices and a lot of stuff to choose from :)

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
