Super Viva Home is the largest “home center” in central Tokyo, with the widest range of home, interior and garden products inside the Yamanote Line.

The store isn’t just for DIY enthusiasts, they supply wood, materials, paint, piping, light fittings, tools, and equipment to the building trade as well.

For wood, there is a cutting service that will cut your wood to your exact measurements. There is usually a queue for this service, so don’t leave it until the last minute.

Besides all the building and DIY materials, they have a huge pet section. While you might have a problem with the ethics of puppy/kitten mills and retailing animals, in terms of pet supplies—for example food, grooming, and bedding—the range is enormous.
