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)
