The Aged Glass Museum, aka the Rougan Megane Hakubutsukan (老眼めがね博物館) is currently having a Closing Down Sale. All their items are 50% off, so you can get cheap sunglasses, reading glasses, and smaller items like cases for the glasses and small eyeglass screwdrivers.
They are located on the East side of Ikebukuro, in Tokyo, and have been in business for 50 years. Their last day of business is 20 March 2022.
As their name suggests, they mainly carry reading glasses, but you might still be able to pick up a pair of cheap sunglasses and small knick knacks.
And even if you do not end up finding something that you want to purchase, you might enjoy seeing the really unique walls and ceiling filled with glasses of different shapes and colours. It really is the last chance to visit this quirky little shop and enjoy the old showa type atmosphere before it’s gone.
