Mezurashiya Kokubunji South Exit

Mezurashiya’s South Exit location in Kokubunji is a long-standing secondhand record shop that has been a fixture of the area since 1983. In collaboration with its sister North Exit store, the shop focuses on unique, off-the-beaten-path records rather than mainstream hits or high-priced rarities. Their carefully curated selection spans a wide range of genres—folk, singer-songwriters, soul, rock, jazz, AOR, garage, punk, and more—reflecting both the deep musical knowledge of the owners and the rich cultural history of the Chūō Line area. With an atmosphere that appeals to veteran collectors and younger music fans alike, Mezurashiya is known as the kind of shop where you just might find that one record you’ve been searching for for years. It’s not only a destination for vinyl lovers, but also a cultural landmark for anyone wanting to experience the charm and spirit of Kokubunji’s local scene.
