Costco in Amagasaki City, Hyogo-ken

My wife, son and I went to America's membership wholesale club "Costco" in Amagasaki city, Hyogo-ken.


My boy is 2 years old yet. But he's getting really helpful day by day.
He's helping us push giant U.S. size shopping cart which is much bigger than him.


Costco Amagasaki is the only Costco in western Japan. That's why shoppers come from all the way Shikoku, Nagoya, and Fukui and the store is always unbelievably crowded on weekend.

Unfortunately, they don't have online store here in Japan unlike ones in U.S.
The membership fee is 4,200 yen per year. It's kinds of expensive. But it's worth for Japanese because we can buy American products we don't see at any other stores at good prices.

The address and phone number of Costco Amagasaki are

3-13-55, Tsugiya, Amagasaki City, Hyogo 661-0965, Japan
06-6496-1600

Their operating hours are

10:00am-8:00pm (7days/week)

Nishinomiya City Office

This is the Nishinomy City Office Building right across the street from 620 years old temple "Kaisei Temple (Kaisei-ji)".

All foreign people who have student or working visa need to come to this office to get Japan's ID which is called "Gaikokujin Touroku-sho (Foreign Registration Card)". People can do anything in Japan without this Forign Registration Card!

Kaisei Temple is very famouse about "Zen". It could be a good idea to visit Kaisei Temple and learn Zen after submitting papers at Nishinomiya city office!
