(Known as The Salvation Army Bazaar Centre)

The Bazaar is open for business every Saturday from 9.00am until 2.00pm

UPDATE
For the past year I regret to inform you that the quality of service, parking, and "good deals" have gone. The once foreign friendly staff have been very unfriendly lately. The prices of late are very close to US prices. I have found actually new products cheaper. If you are looking for a good deal, I now recommend "any" department store or "The Oriental Bazaar" between Harajuku and Omotesando stations.

I would like to share with you an experience I had today, as an example 1/7/2007
I drove my car to the shop. Leaving 8am, I arrived at 9:15 (1 hour and 15 mins of driving) I was greeted by two security guards at the entrance of the parking lot. They said in Japanese "Full", I asked in Japanese "where can I wait or is there another parking lot near by." They responded very rudely "No and Nothing." two words. I asked again a bit more forcefully and they said "You foreigners don't need to drive here, if you can't drive around and wait you don't need to come." Basically saying "you're not welcome here." VERY RUDE. I returned home without "driving around aimlessly wasting gas."

I went to the Bazaar however what I observed was extremely rude. I found several people trying to negotiate with staff, with the staff rudely repeating over and over again, "Too cheap, too cheap, no way, forget it, no discount it's already cheap. etc." I thought this shop was "all donations." I thought they received most if not all of their products for "FREE", why won't they negotiate. Why are they pricing everything now. I mean everything has a price on it and they don't negotiate very much. Very Regrettable.

So I will provide you with the directions to get to the shop, but to be honest I won't be going there again. Only open 1 time a week, terrible service, rude staff, I have better things to do on my weekends than deal with rude Japanese people.

How to get there by Public Transport:
Train: The nearest train station is Nakano-fujimicho on the Marunouchi Line. There is only one exit at Nakano-fujimicho Station. When you get out from the station, turn left. Go straight until the 4th traffic light, which has a sign, "Wada 2". Turn right at this traffic light. Go straight until you reach The Salvation Army Booth Memorial Hospital. Turn left and pass in front of the hospital. On the corner on the right you will see a brick building, which is The Salvation Army Suginami Corps. Just past that is the Bazaar Centre, a 2 floor white building.
