IKEA Japan K.K. (Headquarters: Funabashi, Chiba; President & CSO: Petra Fare), the Swedish-born home furnishing company whose vision is 'to create a better everyday life for the many people,' will open the 'IKEA Pop-up Store in Tobetsu Town' from May 20, 2026, to mid-November 2026 at the 'Nordic Wind Roadside Station Tobetsu' in Tobetsu Town, Ishikari District, Hokkaido. This marks IKEA's first physical store presence in Hokkaido.
Through this first pop-up store in Hokkaido, IKEA aims to become a 'partner for life at home' for many people in the region, supporting home-making that makes people feel 'I love this home.' IKEA is committed to providing affordable products and solutions that realize a comfortable and sustainable everyday life.
Tobetsu Town, where the pop-up store is located, is about 40 minutes by car from central Sapporo and has a sister-city relationship with Leksand, Sweden. Due to this background, IKEA items have already been incorporated into the interior of the 'Nordic Wind Roadside Station Tobetsu.' Through this store where Sweden and Japan meet, IKEA will deliver the charm of Nordic home life along with various ideas and solutions.
The 'IKEA Pop-up Store in Tobetsu Town' will be held in a moving house adjacent to the 'Nordic Wind Roadside Station Tobetsu.' Additionally, during the period, exhibitions proposing home life using IKEA products will be held inside the station building.
IKEA products are developed in Älmhult, Sweden, based on IKEA's unique product development philosophy 'Democratic Design' (excellent design, functionality, quality, sustainability, and low price). The pop-up store will display approximately 250 items carefully selected from IKEA's range of 9,500 products based on popularity, new arrivals, and seasonal needs. About 200 of these can be purchased and taken home on the same day. In addition to furniture and interior accessories, take-away Swedish food products will also be available. The product lineup is scheduled to change periodically according to seasonal needs and new product launches.
Furthermore, customers can order and ship approximately 9,500 products from the IKEA Pop-up Store, IKEA online store, or the IKEA app. In addition to delivery to specified locations such as homes, it is also possible to receive products at pickup points, which significantly saves on shipping costs. In Hokkaido, there are 33 pickup points available with the cooperation of business partners. Customers can choose the pickup method that suits their lifestyle and convenience.
To prevent congestion and accidents, reservation-based entry and same-day registration will be implemented on the opening day, the first few days after opening, and during busy periods. Reservations for the opening day on May 20 (Wed) will start on May 6 (Wed, holiday) at 10:00 AM. Details will be provided later on the IKEA website's 'IKEA Pop-up Store in Tobetsu Town' page.
