Are there any nice home decor stores near Fussa, Tokyo, Japan?

Question:


Hi all! I am stationed in Fussa, Japan (northwest of Tokyo) and wanted to know if there are any nice home stores. I'm trying to work on redecorating my house but my favorite stores (Pier 1, Kirkland's, etc.) don't ship to APO addresses! :(
Is there anything like these places around this area? (Other than Ikea....no Ikea, please!)

THANK YOU!

Answer:


Joyful Honda - a bit north of the base. Is the only place I have ever seen wallpaper for sale. It's in the big lighting shop on the upper floor or on the ground floor against the back wall. Lots of fitted kitchens too.

On route 16 (half a mile north of Costco) is Nitori.

South on Route 16 is "Rooms" (east of Hachioji).

You'll need a car to get to all of these.

On the whole the selection of available wallpaper in Japan is frustrating and disappointing :(

Good luck shopping.
