  • Best Hardware Shops in Japan - Mini-series - Joyful Honda Pro Shop
    In this mini-series, we visit hardware shops all over Japan. In this video, we visit Joyful Honda Pro Shop, a unique shop marketing directly to the professional tradesperson. There are only 3 Joyful Honda Pro Shops in Japan and they are all in Chiba Prefecture. The JH Pro Shop is full of professional level tools for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and the everyday handy-person. You will find a variety of electric and battery powered tools, hand tools, work clothes, tool boxes, and other heavy equipment. This shop is a must see if you want to see a lot of high-quality Made in Japan tools that may be hard to find in other hardware stores.
    Joyful Honda is headquartered in Ibaraki Prefecture, just north of Tokyo. The company was incorporated in December 1975 as a business offering a home center, garden center, pet center, and an arts & crafts center. JH offers a large selection of professional and DIY tools and equipment. Not only does it offer tools and equipment, but it also offers everyday household items such as cleaning supplies, kitchen supplies, outdoor equipment, food and drinks, etc. It is truly a one stop shop for everything you need. There are 15 enormous home centers spanning, 6 prefectures.
    We found that the Joyful Honda Pro Shop contains more power tools than the typical Joyful Honda Home Centers. If you are interested in finding a specific power tool then visiting a Joyful Honda Pro Shop is highly recommended. If they don't have a tool they do have a wall of product catalogs from top tool manufacturers in Japan from Makita and Hitachi to Olfa and Shinwa. If they don't have an item, simply ask and they can order it for you. We also found that the pricing at the Joyful Honda Pro Shops are pretty reasonable and very consistent unlike Amazon.
    We hope you enjoy this video. Stay tuned for more hardware shops in this mini-series in the coming months.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video! I was able to pop into Joyful Honda Pro during our last day in Japan (yesterday) and bought a handful of Nipponsei tools.
    Incredible selection of tools with extreme attention to organization and presentation. I only had an hour in store to shop, but easily could have spent 2-3 hrs browsing each row.

    Got back from Japan recently and visited this exact store. Thanks for the video. Had a great time, and spent too much money on a wide range of stuff.
    Unfortunately a typhoon came through in the late afternoon so I got soaked on the way back to my in-law's house. Dont worry, the tools stayed dry.
    Cant wait to get back!

      Thank you for watching. Those hex head bit holders are by TOP. There are several companies that sell them. Some have different directions to release the bit. Check out this link
      www.amazon.co.jp/ESH-BRBKN/dp/B009325AQ0?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1
      Also, check out other companies like Vessel, SKII, and Anex. These companies all make similar bit holders. I like the TOP ones best.

    It's funny,In the USA ryobi is thought of as a lesser/ store to consumer brand... I used it professionally when I was in residential construction... It's considered a professional tool in Japan... I wonder if it's more expensive in Japan than the u.s. being professional grade?

    • @thecarpentrylife

      Tools here tend to be higher priced. But you will find a lot of tools made in Japan to some extent. For example, impact guns are made mostly in Japan.
