Quick answer:<\/strong> Used furniture in Japan typically costs 20% to 60% of the new price. In Tokyo, the easiest places to buy are recycle shops such as 2nd Street, Hard Off \/ Off House and Treasure Factory, plus Jimoty and Mercari online. A basic 1K setup costs about \u00a529,000 to \u00a5103,000 second-hand against \u00a5123,000 to \u00a5290,000 new. When you leave, fridges, washing machines, TVs and air conditioners must go through Japan’s appliance recycling system, not oversized garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
