Huge Home Center / 巨大ホームセンター [Life]
昨日、今年の１月にオープンしたばかりという『ジョイフル本田 瑞穂店』に行ってきました。
『ジョイフル本田』は関東を中心に大型ホームセンターを展開している企業で、商品数はもちろんのこと、きめ細かいサービスも特徴。この瑞穂店は米軍横田基地のすぐ近くにあり、駐車場も巨大（4,000台）です。
Yesterday, I went to the "JOYFUL HONDA Mizuho Store" which has opened a business on this January.
The "JOYFUL HONDA" is the company which has been developing the large-sized home center at Kanto area. The feature is that there are not only many kinds of goods, but also fine service. This Mizuho Store is near by the Yokota Air Base (America's Air Force) and has a huge parking area whose capacity is 4,000 cars.

薦めてくれた妹夫婦の案内のもと、朝９時すぎに入店。（←特に休日は混むので、早めに動くのがポイントらしい。）店舗は２フロアのみにも拘らず、１つの階をまわりきるだけでも相当な時間を要します。とにかくデカイ！
結局お店を出たのは夕方４時を廻っていました。それでも見切れなかった…（泣）。
同行した両親らも気づけば皆単独行動。私もついつい素材や工具、画材売り場で長い間足を止めて見入ってしまいました。食品を扱う一部の場所を除き、ペット同伴可なので、ファミリー層のみならずあらゆる層がのんびり買い物を楽しめるのがいいですね。
いつでも気軽に行けるといいのになあ…。

I entered there past 9 am with my sister and her husband who guide me; Especially, it is important to go there earlier because it is very crowded on holiday. Although it is only two-storeyed store, it takes a lot of time just for going around only one floor.
Anyway, it is so huge store! It was past 4 pm that we left the store after all. However, we couldn't see everything~.
When I noticed about parents and others who accompanied, each of them was an independent action. I was looking at the materials, tools, artist's materials, and so on, for a long time. In this store, the pets are allowed except some places treating food.
So all customers can enjoy shopping and take it easy.
I wish I could go there anytime...
