Okadaya Shinjuku — Local services in Tokyo

Loved this place! Come prepared to shop, there are two buildings full of anything you might need to buy. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

One building is all fabric. Prices weren't as good as Nippori but the available selection is amazing. The ground floor is mostly cottons for quilting, outdoor, bag making, ect. The upper floors are home to apparel fabrics (multiple floors), specialty fabrics like faux furs and faux leather, brocade, and knits. Downstairs has utility and appolstry fabrics. Don't try to carry bolts between floors, there is a cutting counter and register on each floor.

The other building has everything else. Thread, needles, sewing machines, yarn and knitting/crochet items, multiple brands of embroidery floss, needlework kits, sashiko stuff, beads and jewelry making goods, buttons, cosplay makeup and wigs, and craft books throughout. Basically, if you need it for a project chances are they will carry it or know where...

Its literally my dream paradise. Everything and anything you have wanted or needed is compressed into this small building. Im just so OBSESSED. Too difficult to find something like this in singapore.

This building has floors for each respective hobby.

Sells yarn, fabric, leather, makeup, knitting and crochet supplies, felt supplies, wool, a LOT of ribbons, sewing supplies and more.

If you are in Shinjuku , just drop by. Guaranteed happiness.
