Exterior of the shop, which is part of a home. Two flags, one for produce and one for board games are flying.

Kazamidori

The first time my wife and I drove by greengrocer Kazamidori (風緑) in Fujisawa, my wife excitedly exclaimed she spotted board games on the back wall. I was behind the wheel, though, so didn’t notice. A while later we passed by again and, yes indeed, there were board games! But alas, we were in a hurry and couldn’t stop. The next time we happened to be passing by, we finally had a chance to stop.

Interior of the shop. Produce on a center table and shelves to the right. Boad games on the back wall.

Kazamidori sells fresh fruits, vegetables, and rice, and unexpectedly, board games! The owner is very nice, and as it turns out, a board game enthusiast. Back when COVID was in full swing, his wife suggested putting some board games on the shelf to cheer him up. It started as just a few, but has grown to the entire back shelf, something I can relate to.

We chatted for a bit about the types of games we like. I mentioned my blog and a recent visit to Spinward Games, a board game cafe in Shizuoka, and he suggested board game cafe nostalgia. Funny enough, we both have been wanting to play Dune: Imperium, but haven’t had the chance.

I was impressed with the selection of games for sale, ranging from lighter party games to more involved multi-hour endeavors. The produce was great and reasonably priced as well. I’ll definitely be stopping by again for fruits, vegetables, and board games.

Board games on the shelf. Smaller games on the bottom left, games getting larger on the higher shelves.
