Dave0258 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 I willl be in Fukuoka later this week and suddenly found I have about a half day of free time. Anyone have a recommendation for a sword shop in Fukuoka that I could visit? Thanks, Dave Quote
Jimmy R Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 I have spent much time waiting for planes in Fukuoka on several occasions. There are some gomi and antique shops about 8K east? of the airport. Just ask a cab driver gomi wa dokodesu ka or antiku wa..... And you will get there. But I must say the best thing about Fukuoka is there is a really good Ethiopian restaurant there. Good luck, Jim Quote
cabowen Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 Gomi????? Gomi usually means garbage in Japanese....Are you sure you want the taxi driver to take you to where the garbage is???? Maybe they call antiques gomi in Fukuoka....that is what my wife usually calls them..... Quote
Jimmy R Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 A gomi shop is like our thrift store. Sometimes they have good stuff. I have bought many good things from Gomi shops around Nagasaki prefecture. It is literally "junk shop". They are always a good place to scrounge for obi, dansu, chawan etc. and I bought a set of koshirae at one in sasebo. Jim Quote
Dave0258 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Posted October 18, 2011 LOL. Gomi it is. I'll let you know if i have any success. Thanks. Quote
