Located just a one-minute walk from the south exit of Kofu Station in Yamanashi Prefecture, this outdoor shop is situated on the 4th floor of Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Kofu. It boasts the largest selection of outdoor gear in Yamanashi Prefecture, and its knowledgeable staff provides comprehensive support for users' outdoor lifestyles, including product advice, field information, technical discussions, and after-sales maintenance. Furthermore, its convenient location makes it a midpoint between the field and home for users in urban areas.
With opening hours until 10 PM, it's also convenient for recovering forgotten items.
Many ski staff members with different backgrounds
In fact, there are very few staff members at Yodobashi Kofu who are originally from the prefecture, with many of them having put down roots in the area in search of outdoor fields. A notable feature is that many of the staff members are active in the mountains all year round, including skiing. This makes the store able to cater to a wide variety of users in Yamanashi Prefecture, from alpine skiing to basics, telemark and backcountry. Another big attraction of Yodobashi Kofu is that many of the staff, especially the younger staff, have a wide range of mountain-related knowledge. Let's talk 'mountains'!

[Services and "something" unique to our store]
Whenever possible, we perform ski fitting, boot processing, and item repairs within the customer's sight. We want our customers to share in the process of creating their own equipment. That's why we have adopted this style. We are also available to give lectures, so please feel free to talk to us! We also aim to respond to boot alterations and repairs on the same day. We can complete the work while you are eating or shopping in the electronics section in front of the station
We also have a free-to-use tuning space. You can tune up your skis in a warm environment, which allows the wax to penetrate well and keeps your skis warm, providing a gentle environment for your skis
