1. Breathtaking Beauty and World-Class Quality
Step inside, and you are immediately greeted by a breathtaking wall of beautiful knives. The Damascus steel blades, with their mesmerizing water-like ripple patterns, are true works of art, each with its own unique expression.
However, the true value of Musashi Japan lies beyond aesthetics. Our blades, honed to the limit by master craftsmen, can slice a tomato so thin it becomes translucent, cutting through ingredients without damaging a single cell. This incredible sharpness has the power to elevate the very flavor of your food. From the versatile Santoku (multi-purpose) for home use to the professional-grade Gyuto (chef's knife), you are guaranteed to find the perfect blade from our extensive lineup.

When purchasing specialized tools abroad, the biggest hurdle is often the "language barrier". Without being able to ask specific questions about steel types or maintenance, it is hard to feel confident in your purchase.
At MUSASHI JAPAN, our friendly staff are multilingual and highly professional. Rather than just selling products, they act as experts who will guide you to the ideal knife that matches your cooking style and preferences. Furthermore, all our locations offer seamless Tax-Free procedures. With just your passport, you can secure your "lifetime tool" smartly and affordably right on the spot.

Perhaps the most compelling reason travelers choose us is our complimentary on-site engraving service. We can translate your name (or a loved one's) from the alphabet into Kanji or Katakana and engrave it onto the blade immediately after purchase.
Watching sparks fly as a craftsman carves your name into the steel is an exciting, cinematic experience you will surely want to capture on video. In just a few minutes, your knife is elevated from a product to a personalized "masterpiece". Whether as a reward for yourself or a surprise gift for someone special, there is no choice more meaningful.

In Japan’s capital, we have locations in two contrasting areas: the historic "Traditional District" and the trendsetting "Youth District".
The Mecca of Kitchenware: Asakusa & Kappabashi Area
Located near the Kaminarimon Gate of Senso-ji Temple, Kappabashi Kitchen Town is a holy land for chefs worldwide. This street, with over 100 years of history, is home to specialized shops for tableware, food samples, and fine cutlery. MUSASHI JAPAN operates three major hubs in this area.

Situated along the main sightseeing route of Senso-ji, this shop offers exceptional accessibility. We cater to everyone from casual tourists wanting to touch Japanese tradition to enthusiasts looking to carefully select a forever tool.

These two shops on the main street of the kitchen district exude the authentic atmosphere of a true specialty store. Wandering between the North (Kita) and South (Minami) shops to find your "destined blade" from our massive collection is a blissful moment for any food lover. You are highly likely to discover rare handle designs or knives made from exceptional specialty steels here.

Amidst the Metropolis: Shibuya & Omotesando Area.

Just past the world-famous "Shibuya Scramble Crossing," we have a shop in the heart of Center Street. Despite being in a vibrant district of neon signs and fashion buildings, our store offers a calm, traditional Japanese space. Our late opening hours (until 9:00 PM) are a major draw for travelers who are busy sightseeing during the day.

Often called Tokyo’s most sophisticated street, Omotesando is lined with beautiful Zelkova trees and luxury brands. Our Omotesando shop is a refined space that feels like an art gallery. It is the perfect place to find a blade that combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic.

Kyoto and Nara, the former capitals of Japan, offer historic streetscapes and traditional skills that stand in calm contrast to the bustle of Tokyo.

In the heart of Kyoto’s tourism district, four of our shops are dotted along a route where you can hear the murmur of the Kamo River and feel the energy of Nishiki Market.
It is incredibly convenient to see fresh Japanese ingredients at Nishiki Market and then visit us to buy the tools to cook them. Each shop features a "Japanese Modern" interior where you can take your time discussing your needs with our staff. After shopping, you can enjoy Kyoto's night at Pontocho or Gion, making our locations the perfect hub for your evening.

The Kiyomizu-dera Temple is the highlight of Kyoto. Along the historic "Kiyomizu-zaka" slope, we have two shops: Kyoto Kiyomizu and Kyoto Kiyomizuzaka. Walking down the charming stone-paved slope after seeing the famous "Stage of Kiyomizu," please feel free to step inside. Choosing a "lifetime tool" while immersed in the elation of the ancient capital will become a cherished memory of your trip.

If you are visiting the deer of Nara Park or the Great Buddha at Todai-ji Temple, the Nara Shop is a must-visit. Nara has deep historical ties to the crafting of Japanese swords. Holding a knife that inherits this soul while feeling the eternal time of the ancient capital is a profound experience that touches the heart of Japan.

Hiroshima, home to World Heritage sites, and the remote island of Tsushima in Nagasaki, which offers a "special" experience away from the usual tourist path, are also key locations.

Located in the largest shopping district of the Chugoku region, near the Peace Memorial Park. Encountering the dignified brilliance of Japanese craftsmanship amidst the energy of Hiroshima provides a vivid and unforgettable contrast.

Located at the northernmost tip of Nagasaki, Tsushima is a border island of majestic, untouched nature. This location is deeply rooted in our brand philosophy, including our challenges in addressing "marine plastic issues". Choosing a blade while listening to the waves, far from the city, will become a treasure with special meaning in your life.

We answer the common question: "Can I bring a dangerous item like a knife on a plane?". The answer is a definitive YES. By following airline rules and checking it as "Checked Baggage" rather than carry-on, you can safely bring your masterpiece home.

By law, knives are prohibited in the cabin. To prevent confiscation at security, always pack it in your suitcase to be checked at the counter.

At MUSASHI JAPAN, our staff will securely pack your knife in a specialized box. There is no worry about the blade protruding or damaging other items, so you can pack it in your suitcase with peace of mind.

While online shopping is convenient, we strongly recommend buying your knife at a physical store. The subtle balance of weight and the way the handle fits your palm can only be understood by actually holding it. Come and find the one blade that feels like an extension of your own hand.

With a network spanning Japan, MUSASHI JAPAN is always close to your travel route. Whether you are in Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, or Tsushima, we welcome you with unchanging passion.
Taking the time to select the ideal knife is a highlight that touches the depths of Japanese culture. Enjoy the conversation with our multilingual staff and experience the elation of seeing your name engraved before your eyes. Your "destined blade" is waiting for you. Before you leave Japan, please visit MUSASHI JAPAN to find the final piece that makes your journey complete.
