[@juliezimmer8395]

Your custom cover is so beautiful!!

[@toxmot]

@@juliezimmer8395 thank you!

[@kerithpaterson1668]

The positioning of the tiger completely makes your TN! The rest of the design is perfection too!! This is the most beautiful TSL customized TN I have ever seen online! No wonder you are so thrilled! What a great experience & final product!! 🤩

[@QuietTurbulence]

Thanks for taking us with you on your visit to the TSL store! 💚

[@toxmot]

Glad you enjoyed the vid - a trip perfect for a stationery lover!

[@donnad5986]

I love this video! Can I say I could listen to you play piano all day long it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with us.! Sharing the town, and your TN, WOW that is gorgeous.!! And how cool that you met the person who designed your wallet that is so awesome.!!! 💖💖💖

[@toxmot]

Oh thank you for the compliment! I was just mustering any keys I could get onto the piano from my limited memorized repertoire. And yes, the coolest thing was meeting the person to create my custom TN, I had no idea he was going to be sewing it up too. They do have multiple designers and I think they are on rotation. ❤

[@cb5138]

Your TN is gorgeous!!! Love seeing videos of your trip and by the way, just had to say how beautiful you play piano!!

[@toxmot]

Thank you ~ it was a lovely place to play :)

[@lavenderpurp6610]

Love the design. That is the pen holder that ive been looking for.

[@toxmot]

I hope you can find it soon!

[@WitNWhimsyWrites]

I love your TSL customized TN! Thanks so much for filming parts of your trip and sharing with us! Definitely aspirational for me and I'm so excited for you to get some use out of that beautiful cover!

[@toxmot]

Thank you! It was my fav purchase from my trip and the most memorable. Thx for watching 😊

[@dindinlagdameo6738]

This place will definitely part of my next Japan itinerary. I loved your video a lot!

[@toxmot]

It's definitely a must, such a lovely place. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@DaisyGNgo]

How amazing!! I’m not sure which I love more the cover or the stories! ❤️ Thanks so much for sharing your experience. A trip there is on my bucket list!

[@toxmot]

Definitely worth going, it's a bit of travel to get to Kurashiki but I would do it again!

[@jennieeveleighlamond]

What a charming place Kurashiki is! Everything looks so lovely. I love the cover, it is so special, and how nice that you got to meet the designer of your wallet! I'm super excited for Toronto in a week!

[@lianelikes]

I am so inspired. I also want the tiger patch and it stands out so so beautifully on the black standard TN. I’m going this summer and your video has me sold on making the extra trip out to Kurashiki to get my own customized TN! Thank you for the video!

[@toxmot]

Yes, Kurashiki is a must - I actually almost considered it wasn’t worth the trip out…but didn’t realize it’s like a whole tourist destination that isn’t talked about much and totally underrated. I wish I stayed a night so I didn’t have to rush but if you go early enough, you’ll be able to see most of it. Yes, get the tiger!

[@shannonbuck1704]

I love watching your Japan videos! Thanks for sharing!! Your custom TN is gorgeous 🤍

[@toxmot]

Thx for following along! I more videos in this series coming up.

[@pia7322]

i was also in japan last september, and the heat was something crazy in tokyo!! thank you for this video, i wasn't aware of the kurashiki tsl location. also, your voice is so soothing :) love yours vids!

[@toxmot]

Yes, I was also surprised by the heat in Tokyo - Nov is a much better time to visit. You have to visit again to see Kurashiki! Sorry for the late reply - I am so behind.

[@kathrynsargent5769]

Thank you for showing the beautiful town of Kuroshiki! And your notebook is stunning!

[@toxmot]

Glad you enjoyed this Kurashiki video! It is my favourite vlog of my trip.

[@marieee505]

Wow! That tn is amazing! Your piano playing is amazing! That story is amazing! Wow!

[@toxmot]

Thank you!! 💕

[@CraftsBayou]

I am so happy you went! Such an aesthetic place. 😍 I can’t wait to visit soon, but thank you so much for your preview. And what an amazing experience to meet the makers. Love this!

[@earthologyhut]

Wish I could double like this video. Another wonderful adventure, beautiful shared with lots of great story time and historical facts, beautiful music - you are so talented, thank you for sharing your lovely haul too. Varsha

[@toxmot]

Aw, thank you thank you! So glad you enjoyed this video. I'm surprised not more KZbinrs filmed more of this place. It's stationery heaven! I wished I filmed more.

[@earthologyhut]

@@toxmot you filmed it beautiful. I could almost feel what it was like. You are really great a filming like this. I can’t get out much due to disability and your videos give me the freedom to travel without all the anxiety that go with it for me. I always look forward to finding another video of yours, wishing you a great fun-filled week, Varsha, London.

[@mgtogno]

Wow you play piano beautifully. I am loving ur sereis I went to japan twice and I feel like I havent done anything!! I am definetely taking note of your trip and will try to go to japan again soon!

[@toxmot]

Thanks for following long my trip vlog. There is indeed too much to do in Japan, I think it’s worth multiple trips! :)

[@ramonafirehorse]

Everything looks amazing!

[@toxmot]

It was stationery heaven 👌🏼

[@BrittanyBWrites]

The TSL store is very cute!! And the tiger patch looks really amazing on the TN!!

[@toxmot]

Thanks for watching, this video was so fun to make! Just reliving the experience over and over while editing was fun..

[@AileenTownsend]

Just the most gorgeous customization. I loved your tour of Kurushiki. Will have to add it to must visit places in Japan! I want that tiger patch!! ❤

[@siyanaba]

Planning to buy 2 Kaweco sport fpen. Thanks for the vid. Love to go to Japan in the future, ❤ from Georgia. Pretty cold in Canada lately, have two sisters living there in Ontario.

[@toxmot]

I love Kaweco sports! Especially love their recent special editions! Yes, Japan is so fun to visit, recommend highly. :)

[@Disbudgetz]

It’s beautiful!!!

[@penthevision4706]

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing

[@toxmot]

:) thank you so much for watching

[@skylarl.4571]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE how the customisation turned out! i'm so tempted to have something similar to yours when i visit kurashiki next February. may i ask how much the customisation was? also, i always wanted to ask, was it possible to purchase a traveler's notebook elsewhere (maybe like a kyoto exclusive or airport exclusive etc) and have them customise on that instead?

[@toxmot]

You must purchase from the store in Kurashiki if you want customization. It was around $200. They can only ship to a Hotel in Japan if they can't do same day pickup. Have fun!

[@flanberry]

This was a beautiful video, thank you!

[@teehee185]

Is there a place to see a price list for customizing a TN? I’m the most indecisive 😂 so I’d love to plan things out ahead of time 🥰

[@toxmot]

There actually isn’t a price list or anything online. It is a very intimate, in-person type of service. The only info I’ve got if from watching videos of experiences online.

[@sameeralazawee7524]

Very nice >>>>>> Thank you .

[@emilieangeloz9984]

Hello, I will go to Japan next year. I am interested in customizing a planner at TSL Kurashiki. How much does the planner cost? How much does it cost to customize? Thank you because I can't find any information on the website.

[@toxmot]

There is a small fee to customize each add on. I spent over $400 CAD for everything. The most expensive is the custom cover. The more customization you add, obviously the more it costs. Enjoy Japan next year!
