Hi friends, I hope you all are doing well.  We’re happy in the Johnson household, Cole got home over the weekend after a TDY to Guam this month.  His first day back we visited an awesome warehouse that a friend told me about, thank-you Michael.  This warehouse is packed full of gems, I could have spent hours looking through all the goodies. The kiddos were about to pull their hair out, but I must say they had something for everyone.  It’s a great place for gifts, they have everything from large outdoor furniture and statues, to silk pajamas, jewelry, just about anything you can think of.  The staff was very friendly and spoke great English.  For all of you stationed on the island, this place is a must.  I was told the selection changes with each shipment, so there’s always something new to see.  It’s just a few miles from Torii Station in Yomitan.

These are hand carved chairs from one solid piece of wood, adult and kid sizes.  Prices were about $100-150

 They have garden statues of all shapes and sizes.

They have indoor decor, below are just a few of my favorites.

Beautiful screens that can be used as a headboard, behind your television as a focal point, as a room divider, options are endless.

Carved doors and stools.

Endless amounts of teak furniture and carved pieces.

Unique trays and baskets.

Love these chairs and baby beds.

Directions: Chikyu Zakka is about a 15-20 minute drive from Kadena Gates 1 or 3 and only about 5 minutes from Torii’s main gate. To get there, take 58 going North and turn left on 6 toward Torii Station. You will pass the main gate to Torii on the left. A few lights down you’ll come to a Max Value on the right. Two lights past the Max Value, you will turn left. There will also be a blue sign to Yomitan Care Center at this light. After turning left, drive down a few blocks and you will see Chikyu Zakka on the left.  Plenty of parking is available.

Hope you have a great rest of your week!  Happy decorating!
