Saboten Records is a record shop located in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, specializing mainly in out-of-print and used vinyl.

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.

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.
