Ikea Tokyo
Finally made it to Ikea in Minami-Funabashi yesterday after wanting to go for months. You’re probably wondering why I wanted to go since I am from England and that we have our fair share of Ikea stores there. Well, it’s just one of those things: something new opens, everyone is talking about it, everyone is going, everyone is queuing for ages to get in, etc. Yep, that’s all – sad, I know…
Well, what can I say? It’s Ikea as I know it: it’s a huge warehouse, the exact same floor plan that’s more than a decade old, has a cafeteria, etc. But most surprisingly, a lot of the stuff is dirt cheap just like back home! I was expecting the prices of things to at least double the price of what it would cost back in Europe (anything in Tokyo that is imported from the west tends to get a hefty price tag. Except for my income, that is). Actually, some things here seem cheaper…
One of the star attractions for me is the ¥100 hotdogs they have! Even if it only tastes as good as it costs like Roy mentioned. But by the time I made it past the cashier, the store was closed therefore no cheapo hotdogs for me! Bummer!
