This week (on April 24th), the first Ikea shop in Japan opened near Funabashi (east of Tokyo in Chiba). Miou being a fan of Ikea we decided to go there today. It was an almost eight hours trip, including transportation and lunch time.
Of course, it was the first Sunday that the shop was open but still, there was more people than at Akihabara the day the PSP was released.
It was crowded and you have to wait for everything (eating, paying, entering,…).
We bought some big furnitures as the prices are quite low compared to the same kind of shops in Japan and asked for delivery (that is more expensive than other shops except if you buy a lot as the price is fixed for one order not depending on quantity). We expected to have it delivered tomorrow but it will arrive only on May 13th ! It’s the first time that I hear about such a long delivery time in Japan where it is usually very quick and relatively cheap.
Next week is the Golden Week (almost a whole week of national holidays) so it was a good opportunity for cleaning our flat and install the new furnitures. Given that we are both very lazy, I think the flat won’t change before the 13.
