This is a very cool shop and the owner is super nice and also knowledgeable. Thanks for letting me look at your treasures.Did not expect to come across such a gem of a store outside of the main centres, was an awesome surprise. Some real history and craftsmanship on display

We just popped in, while having a coffee close by and we were mesmerised by the collection. Didn't have too much time, otherwise we could have spent hours in there. Bill is wonderful, as well. Hope to visit again.

Amazing shop with lots of military related goods at good prices. The owner really cares about his shop and teaching people everything he knows. He let us hold his swords and showed us the how they come apart. When one of my brothers was going to buy an old model but didn't have enough money and the owner told him where he could get cheaper models.

An amazing hidden gem. I have lived in Japan for the past twenty years and during that time I have never seen such an extensive collection of authentic Japanese swords, armor and memorabilia. The owner Bill was friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Japan, swords or other war memorabilia.

I am so glad I finally made it to Bill's shop.I have wanted a Japanese sword for some time.This is definatley the place to come, Bill is full of knowledge about the swords. I bought a Wakizashi from bill, he has given me all the information about the sword. If you want a japanese sword I recommend visiting Bill he is a gentleman. I will be back for a Katana .Thank you Bill.
