Well, it's been a little while since the Yamatomachi series is in Urawa, Saitama Prefecture.

Starting in front of Urawa Station
If you head south on the station rotary and head to your right, you will immediately reach the Scramble Crossing, so you will continue on a slightly narrow road south.
I once bought a coffee bean specialty store on my left, but while I was roasting the beans, I was able to relax while I was waiting, and the finished fragrant beans are the best.
After passing through the coffee bean shop, you will immediately turn left at the intersection with a convenience store on the right.
This will bring you to the Urawa shopping district, which gives off a nostalgic atmosphere. After that, you can just follow this narrow path, but there are quite a few strokes, so the shop is still a long way from now on.
This is the first one, it might be a good idea to remember that there are three intersections along the way that include oncoming lanes. There are also some small intersections.
Once you pass the shopping district, you will now pass through the residential area.
The second intersection, on the left is Urawa Racecourse. If you get lost, you might want to ask someone nearby to head to this racecourse.
This is the last intersection with the traffic light, and if you cross it and head straight, you'll almost arrive.
On the left side of this road
This is the place where this sign greets you
Rimba, an old Japanese-style outdoor shop in Urawa, has arrived! I'll talk about it later, but it actually moved once and is the second generation store.
Let's go inside the store
Now, I went to the store, but it's not a big store, but there are outdoor gear that is neatly displayed inside the store. The best part of a private store is that the owner's personality shines through the way these items are placed and selected. However, this view is from a while ago, so the lineup has changed considerably from what I've seen now. You will be switching from the middle to the latest store, so feel the latest limba there.
Just enter the entrance and head to the left aisle, and the items are roughly organized into genres.
The left wall is filled with tools that can be used in the mountains or camping.
There are plenty of cookers on the back.
At the time, there was TMR's Cooker series, which I also helped with when I visited Gear Gin.
Previous visits
I'll be switching to the latest version I recently visited.
Rimba latest news
I revisited in April 2025 and the store's images are almost the latest.
You can also come by car in front of the store, but the size is about one to two cars, so if there are customers ahead of you, it may be in parallel parking. In such cases, customers inside the store and the owner will work together, so you will be able to help each other.
It's still an exciting space!
Now we head straight ahead to the entrance and get a deeper side of the cash register, and there are plenty of accessories and accessories.
OLIGHT has recently been spotting glimpses of its physical stores.
It's a screw-type light that's common, but there's a twist there, and even if you turn it too much, it won't come off. It's a rechargeable light, not a battery-powered one, and now it's a modern update. It's a safe thing to have as a subava.
Looking back at the front, there is a lineup of popular series such as the backpack, Gossamer Gear, Trailbum, and Lowrow Mountain Works.
In one corner of this, Evernew's super perverted new hardcore matte! I was so moved.
Looking up at the ceiling, you can see a display that is floating in the air, and a PergoWorks ZENN, which you just saw at an event!
Visiting past events
If you look straight at it, you may need Luna sandals and a bear canister, depending on the mountain range or campsite you are heading to.
The central display in the store features Mofuma's table series, which has been popular recently.
There is also a RIVERS resin bottle, which is easy to use, and I also have one.
It sells well! The Permand Baton DCF pouch series also commented on the store owner.
You may not see that much yet!? We also carry Mountain Rover products.
Talks titanium windshield is compact because it is assembled.
The store also offers hobby items such as second-hand records in the east of its innermost part.
Next to the right is a selection of men's clothing, including Teton Bros, Lab, Houdini, and static products.
and ultra-light rainwear, New Phantom Jacket, which I saw in the event report above
Below that is the Altra series.
From there, on the north side of the back wall, there are stuff sacks and other items on the left, and the cooker corner introduced earlier.
From there, head left and east. Tents, ground sheets, poles, etc.
Looking up, there are a wide selection of SOL products, burners, and repair-related products.
SOTO, Red Renser, milestones, etc.
Furthermore, next to this is an original handmade item created by the artist.
It's not just about outdoor products, but you can feel the depth of Rimba's wealth.
When you turn the back, you'll see straps and gloves, and for some reason outdoor umbrellas that are currently on the rise in various brands, all of the products are very popular.
The back is made of socks and caps.
As you move on, women's clothing and used clothing have recently become popular in some areas of the mountains. That's how the store's roundabout is roughly completed. Let's have the Rimba store owner Yokohama appear here.
What is Rimba, the owner of Yokohama?
Shop owner: Yokohama Yuichi
– Rimba concept –
"The concept of Limba is to have a carefully selected selection of gear that can be used for all solo activities such as mountain climbing, camping, and bicycles, as well as gear that can be used both outdoors and everyday life."
– The story of the relocation of Rimba –
"We were looking for a property that would allow us to relax and relax even if the access was a little poor, and that would be the first store at the west exit of Urawa Station."
The first store was also a very quaint property.
"However, when the store got on track, the apartment building was built, so we decided to leave...but one year and three months after the eviction we came across its current location and moved."
– Rimba for the future –
"I hope to continue to maintain the core of outdoor shops, but include more elements. (Current records and alcohol sales are also part of that.) My desire is to turn it into a 'local store' that connects people more than I have now."
A traveling bakery?
-Tsukimo Bazaar - Traveling Bakery-
"Not only bread, but the food is also amazing! He has been selling bread and serving dishes at Rimba for over 15 years. He has a unique sensibility and is always inspired."
It may appear in Rimba parking lots along with Yokohama's announcement, so be sure to check out their blog and Instagram carefully. And information about the Rimba event that Tsukimo Bazaar also has been involved this weekend!
KLIPTED POP-UP STORE NEIGHBORHOOD!
"The POP-UP STORE event for the bag brand "KLIPTED." It's a hot topic worldwide, with many famous overseas DJs and record diggers being used! It's attracting attention in Japan too. This day is a chance to try out the actual product! There's also a quick sale of accessories."
"It also serves food, and is in charge of TSUKIMO BAZAAR. We'll be hooked on the deliciousness of stimulating and original dishes inspired by Okinawa, Tajikistani, Indonesian cuisine, etc.! We also sell alcohol."
The event will be held this weekend, April 27th, 2025, from 12:00 to 6:00 pm, and will be cooking and drinking while looking at KLIPTED products. It will be an irresistible space for those who like it, and there is also information on Rimba Instagram. One important thing is that during events, the Rimba parking lot will be used as the venue, so if you come by car, you will have to park at a nearby Coin P or something.
What did you think? Rimba. It's a little far from the main station, but it's a blissful time to be able to see what you really want in the calm space of an old Japanese house, and it's a rare distance for an outdoor man/girl, and the item you've been looking for may be waiting for you.

When it comes to Minami-Urawa Station from Rimba store.
Finally, if you want to leave the store to JR Minami-Urawa, the shop is located just halfway between Urawa Station and Minami-Urawa Station, so it's generally the same distance no matter which way you go, but if you want to experience the atmosphere of the city at the same time, it's a hard choice to decide which way to go, but you can also take both on your way there and back.
So, to get to Minami Urawa, first go left from the store and head south.
Turn right at the intersection where the Taraba Cleaner is located and proceed a little further.
You will be on the main street, so turn left and go straight.
Then you will see the elevated track at the back, and turn right at an intersection beyond this one.
You will be out on the station street, so if you go straight
Arrived at JR Minami-Urawa Station.
It seems that there are a lot of bars around Minami-Urawa Station, so if you like alcohol only on foot, it might be a good idea to come in with them, but the area around Urawa Station is all kinds of uniform towns and each has different personalities, so it's fun to walk around both towns.
