Going to be in Tokyo in a couple of weeks - wondering if anyone here has recommendations for tennis stores or used racquet stores in Tokyo?

Isn't it easier to have a 3 racquet bag as your carry on?

I think you misunderstood, I'm looking to snag good deals on used racquets there, not looking to buy racquets to play with over in Tokyo.

Manga Souko and 2nd street are two big resale/thrift chains all over Japan. Manga souko typically has a decent selection of racquets. Prices can be hit or miss.

Our correspondent in the thread below was in Western Japan but maybe there are similar thrift stores in Tokyo?

Classic racquet hunt in Japan Op shops

I'm on a trip to Western Japan (Tottori & Shimane prefectures) and have been hunting classic racquets in op shops, especially used store chains called Off House. Absolutely bargains to be found. so far I've found and bought a Head Iprestige MP (8/10) and new Fischer Vacuum Classic Pro 90. both...

We might actually be visiting Toyko at the same time. When do you arrive? I'll be there a couple days in mid-January. Have to check but I think I arrive on the 16th.

Going to the Yonex store in Tokyo would be a recommendation. While I am not sure you would find deals on racquets, I did pick up some nice (and unique) apparel at reasonable pricing.

I don’t think there is such thing as “good deal” in Tokyo for an American or European…

Didn't end up visiting any tennis shops during my couple days in Tokyo.

Spent the time trying some local cuisine (eg omakase) and also went to the teamLab sensory exhibit. Not bad, but it could have been so much more.

Why would you say that? I was there a couple of months ago and got a 2015 Blade in about 9/10 condition for ¥3500 which is about $30-35. The store employees were very nice and helpful.

OP - this was the store (they have a bunch of used racquets) - https://tscshibuya.com/racket/.

Why would you say that?

I guess some people haven't noticed the drop in the yen in the last 2 years Things in Japan are about 25% cheaper now for American buyers.
