よく特に北欧からの方に聞かれるのですが、「IKEAって日本にあるんですか？」

あります！

関西には大阪と神戸にあり、週末ともなれば広い店内も人でいっぱいです。とくに３月の週末は混んでいるらしかったのですが、その３月の週末に行ってしまいました！

思ったよりはスムーズに買い物ができて一安心。店内には実際の家の中の様なお部屋のショールームが沢山あり、見て回るだけでもとても楽しめます★

I have a lot of people – particularly from the Scandinavian countries – asking me “Do you have IKEA in Japan?”

Yes!

In the Kansai region they’re located in Osaka and Kobe. the shops are hugely popular and on weekends the spacious floors are full of people. March is EXCEPTIONALLY crowded I’m told. Of course, that’s when I went!

It wasn’t as bad as we expected though, and the shopping went quite smoothly. What a relief.

The store is full of showrooms made to look like actual rooms of homes, and is really fun to just walk around and window-shop.
