I have been living in Saitama for a few weeks now and I am having
trouble finding a skate or sporting goods shop that sells inline
skates.
There is a place by Minami Koshigaya station called Opa that has a
shop that advertises inline skates on their sign yet doesn't have any
in the shop.
Anybody know where I can find such a place? Saitama,Chiba and Tokyo
are all accessible for me.
Thank you,
JB
Inside this page is:
Looks to be mostly online, but you could send them an email and ask.

He specifically requested inline.
Thanks but I had already googled that one up and it's a bunch of
skateboard stuff as far as I can tell and it's online only. I want a
real store I can walk into and do some shopping.
Thanks for helping but I actually did find a couple of places down in
Tokyo to check out.
Pretty funny that the place at Opa had the sign but no skates though.

Welcome to Japan.
Yeah,it looks good but my reading of this shit is only so good.
Thanks for the help though as I may just figure it out!

Basically that page is a bulletin board where each topic starts out
with info on a specific store and posters follow up with reports on
the store. The few I looked at pretty much paralleled your experience.
Looks like there is a fair-sized interest in inline skating in Japan,
but very few merchants who have bothered to step up and fill the need.
