Gira Gira Chariya, Osaka

We dropped into the wonderful Gira Gira in Horie, Osaka last month. In our opinion it is possibly the best fixed wheel shop in Japan, maybe even the world! Here's a little sample of what's inside. Obviously there are bikes, from the classic like this gorgeous Nagasawa...


To the custom builds like this Zunow...


And the cool like this Durcus One..


And the downright quirky...


Then there are the frames. So many beautiful frames hanging from the ceiling...




Below them the shop is crammed with colourful and cool parts and accessories...




There is so much beautiful stock in the shop that it would take us hours just to photograph it. Thankfully Gira gira do a much better job over on their Facebook page. It goes without saying that Gira Gira is a must visit for any cyclist who finds themselves in Japan.
