Aside from Bookoff's, Hardoff's, and the Tokyo Sunday Antique market near Yurakucho are there any further out places to source retro furniture and objects? Maybe ashtrays, lamps, vases and stuff. Even outside of Tokyo is fine for me because I can drive there.
Looking for stuff that is not to overly Japan style but still has a little bit of that Japanese taste. The type of furniture and decoration that you could put into any room that would be a conversation piece.

You can scout mercari. With the right keywords (しょうわレトロ, etc.), it’s a goldmine.
If you prefer physical stores, funagain in Sendagi has an awesome selection: https://www.instagram.com/funagain_sendagi/
I bought a cool piece that was obviously refurbished a little but kept the look I wanted from Démodé Fukunaka. Worth taking a look. They have more expensive affiliate stores but I like their stuff the best.
