ECHO RECORDS

ECHO RECORDS is a uniquely curated record shop located in Jimbocho, Tokyo. Specializing in psychedelic, krautrock, progressive rock, world music, and ambient, the store avoids conventional genre divisions or artist-specific shelves, instead encouraging the joy of discovery through browsing. Often described as “a record store you won’t find on Spotify or Shazam,” its selection offers musicians and music enthusiasts fresh inspiration. The shop also features a bar counter, creating a social space where visitors can share and talk about their newly found records or books. Just a five-minute walk from Suidobashi, Kudanshita, or Jimbocho stations, it is the closest record shop to Nippon Budokan, attracting many visitors before and after shopping. The name “ECHO” comes from analog delay units such as the Roland Space Echo, chosen for its simplicity and universality. Set in the culturally rich and historically layered neighborhood of Jimbocho, ECHO RECORDS offers a place to encounter the deeper dimensions of music.
