"The Tabi Shop"

Well-loved shoe shop for tabi and geta

This tiny shop on Nagareyama Kaido, the main thoroughfare through Noda City, is a little quirky. There is no kanban signboard out front to tell you the name of the shop or its wares. It's well-known to locals and visitors as "The Tabi Shop". The shopkeepers roll up the shutters nearly every day and there isn't any indication of their opening hours. You may have to call out "Gomen kudasai" to get attention as they're not always at the counter. On the counter is a big file folder full of business cards from customers around the world. They're from many different martial arts dojos. You can browse it while you're waiting for service. The shop sells quality indoor tabi for outdoor and indoor wear in all sizes.
