We’ve seen the food and drink in Japan, but what about everything else?
Steve here again, a pal of Chris’ and a fan of www.cocoeast.ca. I recently went to three countries in Asia on a business trip. I couldn’t resist checking out Costco Warehouses in Japan, Korea and Taipei. I took a bunch of photos and Chris invited me to guest post on the blog over the coming month or two to share them with y’all!
The Tokyo Costco features incredible electronics and appliance section. Surprisingly, though, it’s the outdoors department that puts Canadian Costcos to shame. Tokyo is so intensely urban and densely populated that I guess residents must really value their time outside and trips to the countryside. The cool tents, coolers, bbqs, patio furniture, and other outdoor equipment selection was massive with lots of innovative products I wish we had in Canada!
1 Japanese Yen is about 1 cent CAD, so just picture a decimal point two digits from the right and you can get an idea of what it might cost to Costco-shop in Japan. Enjoy the last Japanese post on our Costco Asia Adventure & get ready for Korea & Taiwan!

Hey! I love this blog. I love seeing the prices and comparing them. However you need to move the decimal 2 to the left as in the beginning you stated 1 Yen was equal to 1¢ not one dollar.
That’s unbelievable….. I’d never get outta there! It makes my Burlington warehouse look like a Costco wannabe.
I counted 7 different coolers plus a portable fridge. It’s amazing they would carry the Carl Hansen Y chairs…. they’re a Scandinavian design classic! Wow, just wow.

If a Yen is equal to .01 cent then you need to move the decimal point “IN” 2 digits from the right.
Example 5,397 would be $53.87
