About half of the 5th floor of Shibuya PARCO. PARCO OUTDOOR PARK" was created by renovating this space. The concept store "NORDISK CAMP SUPPLY STORE SHIBUYA" by NORDISK, well-known for its teepee tents, a store by ogawa, a proud Japanese camp manufacturer, and a pop-up area where garage makers and other stores are scheduled to open their stores are just a few examples, The store is designed for both beginners and gear geeks to enjoy.

I picked it up, but did not know what it was used for until the very end.... The correct answer was a bellows, a device used to blow air to strengthen the flames of a bonfire.

Shoot:No, it's really spacious. I also didn't think there was such a wide variety of camping equipment.

Knob:You can find them in the suburbs, but not so much in the city center on this scale.

Cat:Yes, I think so.

We are going to have an actual camping trip now, but please tell us about your camping history.

Knob:I have the desire to camp, but I have only been a few times. However, I recently bought a car, and I actually have a desire to do some serious camping in the future.

I took the gear I bought on the upper floor, carried it up the elevator, and went directly to the underground parking lot. Thanks to the "ogawa" flat cart, it is easy to carry.
