Known as a vintage paradise, Koenji is always buzzing with young people. Amid the many vintage shops of all genres lining the streets, one shop stands out with a unique vibe:
Fukamidori.
Fukamidori has recently gone viral thanks to styling for Ano-chan’s photobook "Ano Arika," supplying outfits for music videos, appearances on Nogizaka46’s YouTube channel "Nogizaka Haishinchu," and the hit variety show "Aiseki Shokudou."
The shop is constantly packed with people carefully browsing vintage finds and seeking advice from the owner, Shogo (often stylized "shogo"). What is it about this place that attracts so many passionate fans?
This time, we had the chance to ask Shogo all about the shop’s special charm.
