    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.

Your best 100 yen store buys

I love finding useful things at 100 yen stores, although I primarily go there for crafting supplies. I'd love to know what your best 100 yen store purchases have been. Maybe it's a kitchen implement that makes life a bunch easier, or a storage item that has given you back more space and a feeling of organization. Maybe it's even home decor that just brings you joy or something along those lines! Looking forward to hearing about your fave buys!

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
