Located in the local area of Kuise, Amagasaki City, in a place called Kuise Nakaichiba, is a small record shop that sells used records, CDs, and independent items.

Tucked into a corner of the front lobby, this used record shop is curated by the innkeeper—formerly a music industry professional and a longtime DJ and collector with a deep love for vinyl. Drawing on their background in black music and club culture, every selection reflects a distinct perspective, with thoughtful reviews accompanying each title. With the belief that records should be enjoyed not only by buying and listening but also simply by browsing, the shop was created out of a desire to offer a more approachable experience—especially at a time when vinyl can feel overly elevated and record stores have become increasingly rare, inviting travelers to casually enjoy records along the way.

We carry approximately 70,000 items in stock and are one of the largest stores in the Tokai region, specializing in pre-owned music media such as records, CDs, and books. Our spacious store layout allows you to browse comfortably at your own pace, and we offer a wide selection that includes books, audio equipment, and musical instruments.
