The Works Address and How to Get There

[ky]

Getting to the correct Bus Stop to return to Hachioji JR Station

basically retrace ur steps to from where u alight from the bus

you will pass by these along the way

when you see Lawson, stop and cross the road. the bus stop is that small yellow dot on the right

[ky]

the correct bus stop

and the route it takes

get on the bus, same as before pay attention to the screen. prepare to alight when you see this

once you alight, take the stairs

JR Hachioji is just ahead

take the Chou Line back to Shinjuku (track 2)

Can you pay with credit at their store, or is it cash only?

[Giles]

They take credit card payments…

I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's stories here. I will visit Japan around NYE and if time permits I will make the journey to IH Hachioji

Is anyone able to confirm this store front is still open? (covid) Ill be in Tokyo in 2 weeks and might try and make a special trip out on a Sunday AM.

Yes it is

I will be visiting Japan next month and had a few questions about The Works.

(1) Does the online store reflect the items in stock at the physical store? https://ironheart.shop-pro.jp/
(2) Is The Works set up to do tax free purchases (or offer the tax refund)?
(3) Can you receive a tax refund for purchases made online? I couldn't find any info regarding this.

[pechelman]

No to all questions. I bought something at the store that showed out of stock on the jp site.

The only way I think you can get a tax refund is by following this process on the same day. There might be other places that have these counters but I didn't know this until after our visit.

Thanks. I also saw that page but I thought it was relevant only for the stores in the Takashimaya chain.

[pechelman]

I think that might be true @DrPat. We went to one of those counters inside a department store for something the wife bought there and the whole process seemed very oriented to in store items. Could be worth a try.
