A compact used musical instrument shop near Namba Station in Osaka.
Otogura, also written as 音蔵, is a specialist used musical instrument shop tucked into the Namba Minami Building a short walk from Namba Station. The store deals in second-hand guitars, basses, keyboards, synthesisers, rhythm machines, effects pedals, amplifiers and other gear, offering a curated selection of pre-owned equipment at value prices. It is the kind of narrow-alley, characterful shop where browsers can find occasional bargains and unusual pieces, and it also operates an online mail-order service for those who cannot visit in person. The shop buys instruments as well as selling them, so musicians looking to trade in or sell unwanted gear can contact the store by phone or email for a quote. Hours run from 11:00 to 18:30, with a regular closure on Wednesdays and occasional temporary Tuesday closures, so checking ahead is advisable. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as laid-back and unhurried, a quiet corner where the air moves slowly and the staff are happy to chat about instruments. For players hunting for a hidden gem or simply curious about Osaka's music-gear scene, Otogura is a worthwhile and charming detour.Based on 46 Google reviews

I was selling a junk compact effects pedal. The next day, I wanted to return it, but they refused, saying it was fine when they were selling it and that it must have broken on the way home. They even said that it was only natural to bring a receipt when returning something, even though they hadn't given me one.

It's a small shop with a slightly old-fashioned feel, but unlike large recycle shops that only push superficial goodness like popular items and items in the best condition (for both buying and selling), this is a great shop that gives the impression that they value the "flavor" of the instruments themselves, regardless of whether they are new or used! As it's a store that mainly sells second-hand items, some items may show signs of wear, but they will make the best adjustments possible under their current condition before handing them over, and the customer service is also polite, making this a recommended shop where you can make a purchase with peace of mind!

I visited the store because I was interested in ukuleles. The owner kindly taught me and let me try out some instruments, and I was able to find a great one.

Lots of treasures, very quiet. The owner was very friendly. I bought some parts and strings, and overall the experience was fantastic! 👍 …
