ディスクユニオン新宿
Shinjuku-sanchome · near Shinjuku-sanchome Station (exit A5); Shinjuku Station
Legendary Japanese record-store chain; the Shinjuku cluster spans genre-specialised shops (rock, jazz, club/dance, punk, used) across several nearby buildings — deep new and secondhand vinyl and CDs.
Honest drawbacks: Genres split across multiple addresses/floors — can be a maze; cash still handy.
