INSANITY the first day of opening. We live up the road and it was crazy! Will wait til the craziness dies down and then take a look!

Wait 1 month and visit the local recycle shops, you'll see everything for 20% of the price.

My wife loves Ikea in kobe. She will happily spend hours looking at and buying the goods. Myself, i stay in the restaurant, have some Swedish meatballs a couple of beers and read a book.
Some decent stuff for sale at reasonable prices and the store has some good foods to take home.

I usually prefer the stuff they have on the ground floor and the food in the restaurant and shop. Been to the one in London years ago and weekends were absolute hell - worse than in Japan. I have to say, the ones in Funabashi and Yokohama aren't that crowded in the evenings, including the weekends. Bearable.
