    Take the JR line (the one that goes in a big circle) to Shibuya. There are a
    few shops there. Zebra Records is really close to the station. Exit the South
    side, take the bridge over the major street on your left and head back towards
    the train overpass. Zebra is on the 1st or second street, about half a block
    out.

    Mr. Bongo is another good one in that area, but I found it by getting
    directions from the guy that worked at Zebra. There are 2 other shops that
    share the building with Mr. Bongo, but I forget their names, and I didn't get
    a chance to visit them because I was too busy finding records at Mr. Bongo.
    Once you get to either one of those, the staff are really helpful at guiding
    you to some of the other shops in the area. There also is a huge (5 story)
    Tower Records which is to the West of the station on the North side. Ask the
    locals, most of them will know where it is.

    Be warned. There are lots of things there that are very hard to find, but
    they don't come cheap. Expect to pay $20-30+ for some older records.
