From The Japanese Factory

We run a vintage watch shop in Ameyoko, Ueno, and film Japan's watch shops every week. Every TJF pick on this map is a shop we've actually walked into.

Nakano Broadway, Ginza, Kyoto, Osaka and the backstreets in between. Every TJF pick is a shop we've walked into, rated and filmed — with notes on what's rare, what condition to expect and what you'll pay.
