Retro fashion is popular! There are many second-hand clothing stores in Taipei's Zhongshan Station and Chifeng Street. I actually went there.
There are two main second-hand clothing districts in Taipei. Mainly Chifeng Street in Zhongshan Station and the west side of Ximen Station. There are also several in fashion and youth streets such as Xinyi Anhe Station. Japan's 2nd Street has expanded into Taiwan, and is entering large shopping malls.
The second-hand clothing stores at Ximen Station are summarized in the article below.
It seems that second-hand fashion is not so popular in Taiwan, and compared to Japan, the number of stores seems to be small, but considering the population, there should be a sufficient number of stores. It seems that second-hand Japanese clothes are popular, and there are many Japanese vintage items from the 80s and 90s. There was also a second-hand clothing store that had regular vintage items and special items. While buying second-hand clothes from America and Europe, it seems that many of them are also from Japan.
The subway is well developed and there are many second-hand clothing stores near the station, but if you register for the share cycle Youbike, it will be easier to get around. Many second-hand clothing stores in Taiwan do not accept credit cards, so be prepared with cash.

Second-hand clothing stores and vintage shops in , Chifeng St. Zhongshan Station
One station away from Taipei Main Station, walking distance to the underground mall. It is easy to understand because Akamine-gai is also displayed at Zhongshan Station. Fashionable shops are lined up in an area that is just a short walk from the station. The area with the most used clothing stores in Taipei.
Events are often held at Akamine-gai Promenade. At the time of my visit, there were many shops selling hand-made goods, and there were also a few second-hand clothing pop-up shops.

Tour vintage shops in Kaohsiung and Tainan! I actually went there.
The southern part of Taiwan has become a hot topic for its direct flights before. It takes about 2 hours by Shinkansen from Taipei. It's not impossible to make a day trip, but it's recommended to spend two days and one night at your leisure. Tainan is an ancient city with many attractions, and Kaohsiung is a retro port town where renovations are progressing. Especially in Tainan, there are many good second-hand clothing stores. Be aware that many second-hand clothing stores in Kaohsiung are closed on weekdays.

Taichung second-hand clothes shop, vintage shop tour! I actually went there.
Taichung is home to historic townscapes and renovation spots such as the Miyahara Eye Clinic. It takes about 1 hour by Shinkansen from Taipei, so a day trip is also possible. There are several second-hand clothing stores in the Sogudo and Ichichu areas for young people, where there are many museums and fashionable shops. It's a bit wide, so we recommend getting around the town by bus or on a shared cycle called "U-Bike".
