Jaunted in Japan: Sloppy Seconds

Jaunted editor Davie Kaufmann is currently touring Japan. All this week, we'll be running stories from her Jaunted Field Trip to the Land of the Rising Sun. Have something you absolutely need to know about Japan?  Just ask.

Not including human beings--I can now speak from experience--random pieces of crap are the most lost item on the Tokyo Metro. And you can shop for those secondhand gems to your heart's content at this store in the Nakano Broadway mall. It's dedicated exlusively to unclaimed lost-and-found junk from the subway.

There are watches, wallets, beat-up umbrellas, clothing, 8-tracks and, as of 10/12, not one but two VHS copies of some documentary about the making of Titanic the movie.

The store is located on the first floor of Nakano Broadway. To find it, make a right at the first "Information" counter within mall limits (that means AFTER the neighboring Sun Mall that leads right into it), a left at Poco a Poco, and look to your left a few steps down.
