Lemon-sha Shinjuku Store — Local services in Tokyo

A Hidden Gem for Camera Enthusiasts.

After exploring countless second-hand camera stores in Tokyo, Lemon-sha Shinjuku was the place where I finally found my treasure—the first edition of the Fujifilm X100 from 2011. A true retro gem!

The staff here were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. What stood out to me the most was how beautifully they organized their cameras and lenses. Each item was displayed with such care, almost like a collection of rare artifacts, which I truly appreciated as a customer looking for high-quality second-hand gear.

The store’s vibe is just perfect for any photography enthusiast—thoughtfully curated, well-maintained, and filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their...

Wow! This shop is massive. It has absolutely everything you'd want from a photography shop: lenses, cameras, filters, batteries, cases, bags, straps, tripods, memory cards, film, cool gadgets, clothing (!), and just about anything else you can imagine.

The staff are helpful and there are usually 3-5 members walking around on each of their multiple floors. And yes, it has multiple floors and each one has different things on it.

Great store to visit if you need anything you might have forgotten or want to increase your photography...

i highly recommend checking this camera shop out!

they have a very good selection of cameras and very kind, helpful staff! i’m not very knowledgeable about cameras, but i entered the store to look for a secondhand film camera, and one of the staff members helped me through the entire process. the staff member who assisted me was also able to speak english! she gave me different recommendations at various price points and let me try them out as well, and in the end, i was able to buy a film camera :) happy with my experience...
