Vintage Shopping Guide: Daikanyama & Nakameguro

I happened to be leafing through a copy of Used Jelly magazine (Jelly magazine’s offering to the vintage-loving fashionistas) the other day, when I saw they’d created the most awesome vintage shopping guides for Osaka, Daikanyama, Nakameguro, Harajuku and Shibuya. After much trial & error, I put on my 日本語 hat (with a little help from Samuel!) and decided to reproduce them here so non-Japanese speakers/readers could find them useful too!
