A home improvement store is a place to go to buy household goods and gardening supplies. I think there are many people who usually only go to nearby stores.

However, recent home improvement stores have evolved to the point where they want to go even if they are a little far away. In order to confirm such rumors, I visited "CAINZ Minamisunacho SUNAMO store" which sings "next generation home center" this time!

Floor designed for ease of purchase

The store, which opened as a flagship store in Tokyo in 2008, was just renewed this July. It is located in the shopping center "SUNAMO", which is about a 5-minute walk from "Minami-Sunamachi" station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai line.


We handle more than 40,000 items such as daily consumables, kitchen accessories, bedding, and wood. You will be overwhelmed by the size of the floor, but related products such as "rain goods" and "veranda garden" are displayed together according to the lifestyle and interior, making it easy to find what you want.

Service unique to the store

Furthermore, with this renewal, the services unique to this area have been enhanced. Some of them are introduced below.

Cycle park


A "cycle park" that supports all of "selecting, buying, and fixing" bicycles. A staff member of a former bicycle racer is stationed in the central cycle pit, and he / she supports how to choose and ride with abundant knowledge and experience. He gave me careful advice not only for sports bikes but also for the author who is considering electric bicycles!



Cafe & Garden


CAINZ's green, which I personally have a great deal of trust for a long time. At the green corner of the store, there are more foliage plants than seeds and seedlings, conscious of the local pattern. We have a wide variety of plants, from large potted plants that are as tall as tall to airplants and succulents that are easy to grow indoors, and if you look at them, you will definitely take one pot home with you.


In addition, fashionable lifestyle miscellaneous goods are also available from CAINZ's original select shop "trouverie". I want something on the shelves ... The cafe is scheduled to open in early August.




Pets One

The pet corner "Pet's One" sells services such as trimming, self-washing, and pet hotels, as well as pets and related goods such as puppies, kittens, and ornamental fish. By the way, the store also allows you to shop with your pet.



CAINZ Studio


This is a space where you can enjoy DIY using woodworking, laser processing machines, and 3D printers. We also lend out tools for free, so if you want to process the purchased product at home, you can rest assured (you need a CAINZ card or app to use it).


I tried to combine a green and a glass bottle with a coaster cut with a laser cutter.





In addition, we also have menus such as putting names on CAINZ original products and making pet charms (processing fees are different for each). It seems that you can bring your own data and use the machine (reservation required for hourly rental). It seems that you can use it in various ways depending on your ideas.


There are so many things to see that we can't introduce here. Unfortunately, I live in the opposite west, but if I live nearby, I'm likely to go there every week. If you haven't decided on a schedule for this Golden Week holiday, why not go out and look for tips on how to live?

The store is located at 3-4-31 Shinsuna, Koto-ku, Tokyo. Business hours are from 10:00 to 21:00 (until 20:00 for Pets One).
