- While many international businesses do not do well in Japan, Costco has had tremendous success. And when it comes to our family of 6, Costco in Japan is a go-to place for buying international groceries in bulk and saving money too. See what makes the price of membership worthwhile for our family in this episode of Life in Japan.

And for anyone curious, our total of ¥41,814 comes out to around $370 (depending on the fluctuating exchange rate). Thanks for watching!
@Ron Willis you could get as much in a budget store same quality and as much for id say 100+ cheaper, i think cosco is over priced,
did you know that your Costco membership can be used around the world. i got mine in Canada and can use it in Japan and anywhere else.
That’s great
Woooow thats cool :0
That's good to know, thank you
I got a membership in Canada and there is a Costco in France. I was wondering about that. Thanks!
wow!really?i didn't know that
Here is a tip when putting you kid in a cart. There are large flat sheets of cardboard that you will find between the layers of different produces. Find one and put it down first inside the cart. It will make it much more comfortable for you kid to sit on instead of the wire cart.
The nice thing about Costco is their 100% satisfaction guarantee! If you buy it and don't like it, you can return the unused portions!! I work for Costco in Minnesota, and the guarantee is company wide!!
何が凄いかって、このお母さんがパワフルな事
毎度毎度のお買い物でしょうけど、お疲れ様です。
コストコの買い物は毎回ワクワク楽しいですよね。
今回も動画楽しく拝見しましたが、一点気になるところがありました。
子供さんを靴のままカートに乗せるのは衛生的によくないと思います。
もし自分が、次にそのカートを使いなさいと言われたら断ります。
カートに生鮮食品を入れることを考えていただけたらと思います。
気分を害されたらごめんなさい。
また、他の人も同じことを言っていました。 私たちが考えていなかったのは残念です。
お母様
外国での子育ては本当に大変だと思いますが
いつも笑顔で素晴らしいです😌
私も頑張ろうと思います‼︎😭
「お母さん」って凄いな❣世界中どこでも「母は強し✨」mother! Thank you an always!!😊💕
Mothers are the best!!
@@LIJ さん
その通りです！That's right😘👍
Hi Reutter family, I just want to say Thank you . I understand the obstacles you need to overcome as a big family in Japan( I was born Japan, living in Canada now), and every single one of you doing your best to adapt from language to lifestyle has been really encouraging. I climbed Mt.Tsukuba back when I was in grade school like twice !! Thanks again for uploading !!
Thanks for sharing!! I would like to climb Mt Tsukuba sometime (we took the ropeway, which is really nice too)
Shopping is always fun until you arrive home and realize you have to unload and organize EVERYTHING!!!
And have to take it all upstairs! Ha ha! So true.
Too true 😅
I LOVE a Costco haul video, from anywhere around the world, I love seeing local products and of course the usual reliable products, I’m from Mexico and I go to Costco at least every two weeks. Your Christmas aisles were definitely better stocked than the ones over at my store :(, and those Japan sushis must be of amazing quality! It’s great that you can get american products at a good price with such a family, hope to see more videos ☺️
Interesting! How does Costco in Mexico compare?
I live in Illinois and if you buy anything at costco and you don't like it you can return it after tasting it. No questions asked. The only exception is electronics there you have a 90 day time limit.
You don't even need the receipt just your membership card. The computer looks it up and your credit card gets credited. I returned things over a year after purchasing...no problem. I think if you abuse this they can give you a warning. I return stuff all the time and never had a problem.
Costco is the American experience in Japan. In America, everything is BIG! It's difficult to experience this scale in Japan (not saying either is good or bad).
It's true - so it works well for our family :)
Costco actually has a really good return policy so if you don't like it, you can return it no problem.
that's what i was thinking. I haven't had any issues. i took back a vacuum after I tried it and they didn't ask me anything. :)
But then the food goes to waste.
@@jaredf6205 but if you don’t like it you’re only going to throw it out
自分のように一人暮らしだとあまり行く機会が無いですが、家族６人だと保存期間が長いものを大量に買っておけば節約できて、日ごろの買い物も必要最低限で済みそうですね。
fascinating how we are interested in someone's daily life, just because it's in another country. Make no exception, I'm one of them 🤣🤣
We love Costco also , especially in the Christmas season it is like go back to Brazil (a little)
日本に住んでいても母国アメリカの文化習慣を忘れることなく大事されていていいですね。
Guys, all dirt from the street you have on your table. The shoes in the trolly.
Ruth does what I do with juice. I cut it with water about half and half. Makes it last longer, saves money, and less sugar.
It's best to buy the creamed 2kg size honey from Costco as the liquid version is pasteurized. The creamed version isn't and is much healthier.
It's commonplace in the United States, but in Japan it's not good to have a child in a cart. We recommend using the special chair that comes with the cart.
I think the costco down here in Kyoto is so much more tiny, it's always so packed.
I'm a vlogger in oKINAWA And we get one in 2023 I can not wait to get a costco here! I spend so much money on groceries!
Lindt chocolate is my favorite too. Thanks for the tour. It’s interesting to see how similar/different the stores are.
It would be interesting to do a comparison between Costcos worldwide!
I adore Costco because we can stock up on dry goods and cans etc for emergencies.
We don’t go much we go like 3 times a year but when we go it’s like $200-$300 so not bad.
There aren't any Costco warehouses or Ikea stores in Shikoku Island, where I live. I envy those who have easy access to their outlets. I might buy anything in sight on impulse if I could be there! I've decided to visit their websites and enjoy "online" window-shopping!!😆
Hopefully that will work - at least you can enjoy some of the benefits!
I have a really small kitchen too, so I know what you mean. Small apartment fridge/freezer and little cabinet space.
I’m so jealous of the sushi at Costco! Wish they had them here in the states.
my local Costco in California sells sushi!
@@soryadventures You shut your mouth! I'm SOOOOO jealous!
@@soryadventures Up here in Canada, they sell sushi, but it suuuuuuucks compared to the Japanese Costco's sushi. I just got back from Japan, and there's no comparison. haha
@@Maplecook Good for you!
アメリカ人目線でもコストコは量が多いという事が分かってなんとなく安心した（笑）
コストコにはまだ行ったことがないのでかなり参考になりました。
動画をアップして頂いて有り難うございます😌
Wow, combo pizza, burgers & chowder!!
That's menu looks back to pre-covid, very jealous of that food court selection!
I am Japanese who lives in the US. I like this country and the people, but I don't like American's behavior that many people use carts as stroller. In Japanese common sense, carts are not supposed to be used like stroller, in particular for kids who put shoes on. We place foods on carts that should be kept clean.
We're so sorry! Culturally, things are very different from America and Japan for sure, but I totally understand why not to do it here in Japan, and I agree. Some things you learn the hard way (like after posting a video and then seeing all the comments about it!)
The green tea from costco is amazing, nothing compared to the one from other shops
大家族だと日用品購入も大量で大変ですね。お疲れさまでした。
Nice to see that Costco still looks pretty much the same in Japan as it does here in the states.
There are now thirty Costco locations in Japan. In August they will open up one more in Mibu Japan.
Would love to see a what we eat in a day type video! 😁
初めてコメントします。コストコは色んなものがあるので、おすすめな商品を知れて嬉しかったです☺️✨
コメントありがとうございます。
I'm so jealous to Japanese people who lives in Japan, they are able to get plenty of Japanese food even fresh Sashimi with reasonable price at Costco, in US we can get only 2qt Soy-sauce haha
Ironically they don't sell the soy sauce here like that!
The Costco in Hawaii carries quite a few Japanese brands. My son loves Eto En green tea
コストコは10年くらい前に1番行ってました、当時は今の量が減らされてる時より多く安くお得感で大量買いしてました(笑)
ここ数年コストコに行ってないので動画を拝見してたら、またコストコにとても行きたくなりました😄
it’s so crazy as an american to see what’s stocked up more in japan vs in america, the space with the mac n cheese would have so many more boxes for people to buy in america than they did in the video!
It is interesting to see the difference. Cereal is the same way!
I always go to Costco Japan once a year, every December, to buy chocolates so I can send them to the Philippines.
Just found this vlog. ...... wow, I love all the foreign Costco's. Definitely going to watch more of you guys....TY
Awesome! Thank you!
ジョシュアを靴履かせたままショッピングカートに乗せてるけども、アメリカ人と違って日本人は「靴底は汚らしい」という意識があるから、アメリカ人のあなたたちは気にしないかも知れないが、次に使う人のことを考えてそういう事はやめていただきたい。（たとえ次に使う人には分からないとしてもしてはならない事はしないのが日本の文化なので日本ではやらない様に気をつけてもらいたい。子供には親が注意をしてさせないのが日本での親の義務。）
Oh thanks for telling me! I didn’t know that! I will remember that for next time!
知らせてくれてありがとう。
@@LIJ no problem.Japanese people used to do it when they were children. Including me
@@user-re8sc7nm7s Many Japanese are taught manners by their parents and others.
Unfortunately, those who have grown up without knowing manners cannot warn their children about them.
@@user-re8sc7nm7s 子供は自分で判断できないことを親が「やってはいけないこと」を教えると言っているのだが、外国人は靴を履いたまま何処にでも上がるのが普通なので子供にも躾できないのであろう。が、日本で生活する以上は日本の習慣に従って他人の迷惑にならない様にしていただきたいと。「教えて差し上げている。」のだが！（日本人の中にもやっている者はいるかも知れないが、それは当たり前のことではない。）
Wherever there's a Costco you're always at home!!
Love it! Yes- it's true :)
Just found your channel. Subscribed because you are not ashamed to openly speak about Christ and His love for us. Thank you.
Thank you!
I love how Costco is the same everywhere in the world. We ate our Costco pizza in the car too
You are the guys from Takashii's video about families, nice.
We also live over an hour to Costco, but we're in the mountains of Montana! 😂 We lived in India for a while and I would've absolutely cried if there had been a Costco!!
If that was Kewpie brand deep roasted sesame dressing, your friends in the US can buy it on Amazon US. I love sesame dressing and buy it there all the time.
The ingredient Cellulose powder, Non caking agent, found in Regular Parmesan shakers is made out of Literal wood chips Interesting.
There's app about costco , you know in apps about phone or PC bring everything you buy in you home?
All of the products in Costco and tested and approved for bigger profit, so the products are good in quality and taste etc. It's all about $$$$$$ that customer will buy.
We just went to Costco the other day. I usually buy toilet paper and paper towels from there. This time I also bought meats and bread. My fourth grade son wanted that gigantic bear and I got one for him. It took up a whole seat in the car!
Ha ha! Joshua wanted one too, but we didn't have any room at home for it. It sure looks fun though!
We love it! It’s like e a huge teddy bear floor chair and much more comfy than a bean bag! I’m actually glad we hauled it all
the way back from Hiroshima Costco!
Awesome video! Japan seems like a really cool place to rise a family!
3:55 but pre-rinsed rice tastes AWWWWFULLLL! I tried buying a bag once and immediately regretted it after eatiing and have never gone back. I know it's a hassle to rinse the rice, but I swear it's well worth the extra effort.
コストコのティラミスがマジでうまい けど遠いから中々行けない🥲
Good call on ‘Godiva’ or ‘Lindt’. Especially for milk choc! Thanks for taking us with you - Costco is almost the same in California, England or even Japan it seems.
Thanks for watching!
When you have a family costco is a must its much cheaper buying in bulk compared to constantly going to grocery stores
That's correct!
"I'm not for Belgium's finest" proceed to name Godiva which is from Belgium 😆 Also,as a Belgian person this kinda hurt a little 🤣
In Europe, Christmas was initially the attempt at christianisation by the Catholic and Orthodox Church of the various pagean winter celebrations. Especially,the pagean holiday of Yule that the Vikings use to celebrate. That's why celebrating Christmas use to initially be banned in some places because despite the Church's efforts people still would celebrate like Yule. Thus the Yule ball in Harry Potter,for example.
Ha ha- she's just not for the selection "Belgium's Finest" but does love Godiva and Lindt!
@@LIJ I see 😆 I think by the looks of it those are plain chocolate bars from Galler. I can understand why if you are not use to it,you would not like it,it's not that sweet and more dark compared to American candy bars.
Lindt is actually from Switzerland,their country specialises in more sweet creamy milk chocolate. We have a rivalry with Switzerland but to be honest Lindt is so bloody delicious.
I didn’t mean to offend! 😊 Joshua and I love the Godiva dark chocolate. It’s one of our favorite! I didn’t know it was Belgium, so obviously I love Belgium chocolate!! 😋
@@ruthreutter8355 No,offense. I was just joking 😊
To be fair Belgian’s finest” is a brand.
いつも金曜日楽しみにしてます❗️
これから日本の冬、温泉最高ですよ♨️
動画観てみたい😌
You know what's my favorite scene?
11:14 😊
Yes!
I find it funny seeing California rice 🌾 I mean what’s so special about rice from my state 🤷🏻♀️ I wonder
I heard just today that it's a great alternative to Japanese rice! I didn't know that either :)
very cool, thank you for posting
cranberry pomegranate juice is a good mix.
I can't say I've ever tried it - it sounds good though!
Most of Costco's products are big size, so it's good for big family homes.
It's also nice for the Reutter-family to have a lot of American food that isn't sold at other supermarkets.
Wasn't the car on the way home full of Costco food?
Cool I went Last Week
Maple syrup is healthier than agave. Less glycemic index or whatever. Make sure it’s 100% though.
I’ve been to Costco Japan (near U.S. Army Sagami Depot) n among other things, my absolute fav was Japanese Sesame salad dressing🥰
It is good!
We have a Japanese restaurant where I live it’s called Mikata so so god but they have a ginger salad dressing the best salad dressing ever
コストコで外国人を見かけると、自分が海外にいるように感じがして楽しいです。
日本のコストコの店内撮影禁止だったと思ってました。大丈夫なんですね。
多分ダメですよね🥲🥲🥲🥲許可どりしていないだけかな？と思います
That video was very interesting, that was my first time watching you guys. The only thing I would like you to include is more pricing, I find pricing from different countries compared to where I am (U.S.A.) extremely interesting, I used to drive my daughter in law crazy when I would constantly ask her how much is “this” back in your country (India) when we would be shopping. I kept having to pause your video and ask Siri how much ‘in USD is this amount of Yen’ but anyway, very interesting video. Thank You.
I wish Costco here in a Australia we would love it looks good and cost I would shop there
This is so cool
奥さんのお気に入りが、私と一緒でした〜😊✨
I'd love to go to costco in Japan looks so much like an Aerican Costco
Lucky for you guys they still serve the combo pizza, which they discontinued in the US, "due to CV." 🙁
Ruth's favorite!
ママさんご苦労様。大活躍‼️
In Japan?! Uau! My husband and I love this store.
Us too :)
This costco is pretty unique to me. Never seen one in japan til now😉
I have Sam’s Club instead of Costco, and it’s my favorite place to be.
I’ve wanted to visit some of these countries to live in, but not without my Sam’s or Costco membership.
THATS WHY first thing you do when you sign up the membership is to BUY NEW FRIDGE AND FREEZER 😂
Muito bom fazer compras no Costco! ☺️🇧🇷
I'm pretty sure that's not Italian Parmigiano lol, most of all cause they named it Parmesan, love this store btw
僕はアメリカ産の牛ステーキ肉が1番好きです。臭みもなく、コスパ良し、意外と柔らかい。
Love this channel
Love that bread too!!!!!
楽しい動画をいつもありがとう！！
That isn't too bad, I guess it's what you buy. Two third of that size is like $300 for my family of 3
We lived in Yokosuka Japan from 1982to 1986. I would have loved a Costco!
It is a game changer!
What that the music from SimplyNailogical intro?
I love your videos esp. this one! Got me interested to visit Costco near us however I didn’t find any parmesan cheese and choco chips there. I would like to know the location of this Costco you went to because I want to visit it too😇 More videos pls. Thanks!
This one is in Machida. But items at Costco in Japan are hit and miss. Sometimes some stores have an item and others don't.
奥さん凄いねえ。家族を養うのは大変だ。お父さんも。
ママさん！ガンバレ✊パパさん！ガンバレ✊子供達の胃袋を幸せにするため✊頑張ろう！
Chia seeds is great in lemonade.
Turkeyの調理方法、RUclipsでupしてもらえたらうれしいです😊
ウチの近所のコストコです♫
我が家も家族が多いのでコストコが近所にあって重宝してます☺️
時々、コストコがもっと近くにあればと思うことがあります。 そうすれば、もっとお金を使ってしまうかもしれません。
Costco has a great service after you pay! We want to go after a long time! Thank you for the wonderful video!
We are your fans! We are waiting for new videos!
Thank you so much!
I want to go to the cold section 😂
Joshua's favorite - to see his breath!
