This is a special edition of our series where Nishi2 members simply introduce things they’re glad they bought.
This time, we went shopping at “Seria ACTA Nishinomiya East Wing.”
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishi2.
This store just opened on 5/21 this year.
It’s actually about 170 tsubo, so it’s really spacious.

There are 8 Seria stores in Nishinomiya City in total.
Let’s head to Seria ACTA Nishinomiya East Wing!
Browsing Products Inside the Spacious Store
Even the area in front of the registers is nice and roomy.
Kurayan is deep in thought in the party goods section.
What kind of item is she holding?
When you’re starting a new life and need kitchen goods, it’s so helpful that you can get them at a 100-yen shop.
We also found items that look perfect for outdoor play.
Toilet and bath goods,
and plenty of laundry goods too.
There’s also a great selection of interior goods for decorating your room.
Yumacchi makes use of his height to check out the storage goods on the upper shelves.
So many makeup goods too!
Shacho is very seriously selecting products.
No need to go all the way to a home improvement store.
The sales floor is so large that once you start looking around, you end up wanting this and that.
Now, let’s take a look at the recommended items bought by Nishi2 members.
Items Bought by Nishi2 Members
What Shacho Bought
Because of my work, I spend a lot of time at my computer desk.
Apparently, it’s good to place blue items around your desk. This crystal object I found at Seria has a nice fantasy feel to it.
I basically like white and black, but adding blue to that makes it feel just right. Blue is said to have a relaxing effect and help improve concentration. It also apparently has an effect that makes time feel slower. Though honestly, those are just reasons I came up with afterward. I simply like blue. Long live Blue Hawaii.
What Kurayan Bought
Don’t say, “Uh… creepy…!”
Believe it or not,
it lights up!
It’s the kind of thing you see at U●J or night stalls!!
If you buy it there, it costs over 1,000 yen, right?
If you secretly bring this along and your child asks you to buy one, you can say, “I got one for you!” and save 1,000 yen!
Since there are no festivals this summer,
if it feels dark while you’re on the computer, look!!!
Briiiiiight!!!!!
…and that’s how I played around with it (^^)
What Yumacchi Bought
I’m not putting sponges on it!
The great thing about 100-yen shops is that you can use items for purposes other than what they were made for, so instead of using it for sponges, I attach it to my bed and use it as a place to put my alarm clock.
What Niko Bought
When you travel, go to the gym, or visit a public bath, what do you put your toiletries in?
I use Seria’s laundry box as a toiletry bag.
I put in body soap, shampoo & treatment, cleansing product, face wash, eye shampoo, and a towel, then take it into the bath area.
Benefits of using a laundry box as a toiletry bag
･Totally OK
even if it gets wet
･Since it can be washed in the washing machine, you don’t have to worry even if shampoo or soap bubbles get on the bag
･Because you wash it every time you use it, you can always keep it clean
When I get home, I take everything out and put it in the washing machine.
I often see people using mesh hot spring pouches or boxes with plastic handles, but they seem hard to dry, and I don’t like leaving shampoo or soap on them. They also seem like they might get slimy or grow mold… and that’s how I arrived at using a laundry box.
What Mama Bought
Put them in water and, what a surprise!
They get really big.
They’re those things girls like to scoop up at festival stalls.
As an adult, I use them as interior decor, letting a penguin cool off or just enjoying the look.
