Ginza's Famous Stationary Store - Itoya | Life in Japan EP 281

[@mikekawasaki3272]

When I was a kid my father used to bring me there whenever dropped by downtown area. It was a hidden gem for me. Nice to see this place never changes its charm.

[@yukiba2809]

銀座の伊東屋さんは国内でも憧れのお店ですよ。楽しくお買い物が出来たようですね。これからも楽しんで下さい。

[@shin3296]

夢のような世界ですね。地元には、店の片隅にほこりのかぶったボールペンや鉛筆がおかれている小さな書店があるだけ。憧れです。

[@brucemcdonald4060]

When I visit Tokyo, Itoya is definitely on our list of must see places.. Thanks for the video.

[@lruss5050]

Japanese stationary is second to none!❤️🇨🇦

[@puppyear1363]

伊東屋は、やっぱりおもしろい！商品アイテム数も多いし、内外のカードの種類の多さ、珍しい物が、いっぱいで目を引きます！

[@Denaskitchenalways]

I would lose my mind! I love stationary!

[@LIJ]

It is pretty impressive :)

[@nikkibun89]

I saw stationary store and came running! I love writing letters, just dont have many people that share that passion. That store is simply amazing, we need one here in the US ha ha oh my goodness all the fountain pens!!! I still use a physical planner, I just can't get used to digital planners. I love pens so much, I already have so many but I never have enough at the same time ha h a All the art supplies, my heart.

[@flow-freaks]

日本の文具は本当に楽しいですね、アナログ最高！2階のアート・クラフトフロアが個人的に好きです。千疋屋のフルーツパーラーで季節限定のパフェもおすすめです。 Ginza shopping is the best!

[@Amimimi6974]

I went this summer to Itoya and saw my old classmate!

[@Penguins1999]

I ❤ stationary. That place looks like paradise

[@emi-tr2uv]

世界堂 (新宿本店) は、文房具、画材などが安いです。カードを作らなくて大丈夫、表示されている値引き価格で買えます。絵や漫画の材料が揃っていて、伊藤屋とは また違った感じのお店です。

[@川野俊和]

伊東屋は昔の雰囲気(品揃え)の方が好きでした 文具の専門店だからチープなモノじゃなく、良い品を取り揃えてる感じです が、ペンに特化してるとかノートに特化してるような専門店とは違うと思います 手軽に文具を手に入れるならハンズや100円ショップが

[@LIJ]

私たちも同じことを考えていた。

[@BrichaJulbry]

I use both digital and manual planners. At one time, I was only on digital version and found out that manual writing is actually critical to a healthy brain. So, I've been adding the manual planning and diary writing, especially cursive, into my routines.

[@LIJ]

Wow- that's a good argument for writing!

[@LuckyisSara]

I've been in this stationary/journal phase that it looks amazing in there

[@TheVic2ryous]

いつか試してみたい。 紙とペンで書くことが少ないんだ。 ほとんどパソコンで書いています。

[@gerriebell2128]

It is a beautiful store and I would want to take my time looking on most of the floors. I have always loved stationery stores, but I am mostly digital now.

[@danhill1186]

Amazing store! The great thing about Tokyo are the many beautifully-designed super-large stores specialising in one thing: Tower Records, Tsutaya, or Itoya as seen in this cool tour video. It's stationary heaven for real! Thank you for showing it to us 😊

[@sandraesterm8894]

this video was so amazing!! i'm a huge stationary lover so i would definitely love to visit this store some day :)

[@LIJ]

You should!

[@heatherfahsbender6583]

What a great store! I love pens. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Lol. Would love to see the kids part in another video. I actually use a digital and paper calendar. I prefer to use EXCEL to make my own and then print it out and put it on my refrigerator. I just duplicate it each month and start over. I add everyone’s activities in their own color, family birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Then I can use pen or pencil to change it throughout the month. I will prepare a few months at a time and reprint future months as they fill in. The digital calendar is great because it keeps my husband connected and I can refer to it when I am in town and need to schedule a future appointment. And for keeping track of things i. The distant future. I “sync up” my paper and digital calendars frequently. We recently purchased a magnetic calendar for the refrigerator for my senior in high school so she can learn to better manage her own super busy schedule, since she drives herself every where! For daily reminders I set alarms throughout the day, erase them when completed and start over the next day. It helps my ADHD brain. Ha

[@LIJ]

Ruth does something very similar - keeping a physical wall calendar and also keeping up with our digital one.

[@torspedia]

I'm mostly digital, but I want to go back to analogue for somethings, like calendar and quick note-taking, etc... there have been just too many times when I tried to check my productivity apps, only to find I have no mobile (or wifi) signal. Generally, though, I am certainly interested in becoming more offline in some other areas too. 🙂

[@razly194]

こんなとこあるんだ！行ってみたい

[@Marhava2023]

文房具店としては、世界一だと思います。 是非、いちどだまされたと思って、行ってみてください。 カレンダーも良いものがあると思います。 ねむの木学園のカレンダーも扱っていたと思います。

[@lesleyprananto]

i use manual planner/ journal... currently using 5year hobonichi journal very recommended

[@gracefarm394]

How fun hard to find in America now ❤

[@heatherfahsbender6583]

These types of stores existed in America when I was a child. My Mom did so many arts and crafts and I would often go with her. I was in heaven right along with her. 😊 Now I have many of her supplies.

[@natasjaschotel7718]

Oh i am in love😂😂😂. As Postcrosser i White a lot of postcards, and i live to write letters. I have to go here😂❤

It's heaven for momちゃん and kids. 。。。papaちゃん, in a few years, the stationery store will be changed to a cosmetics store.😅😅

I always hated writing thank you cards to people, not that I didn’t want to but just I never know what to say to people, I love writing in journals, I have a nice leather one that’s refillable pages

[@erika6775]

I looooooove this video! Thanks for sharing 🥰 I always go here to get birthday cards / season’s greeting card. In November, I would suggest you to visit Icho-Namiki at Meiji Jingu Gaien, beautiful ginkgo streets! 💛

I recommend going to Yuzawaya Kamata branch. They have 3?4? buildings full of arts and crafts supplies. I like to go there to buy cut cloth for sewing.

[@kristinesharp6286]

Kid section might have been cheaper.

[@LIJ]

We really want to go back and try at some point!

日本人の私でも知らない場所を紹介してくださり嬉しいです😊 日本のペンは、質が良いと聞いたことがあるのですが、本当ですか？ やはり海外の方にお土産で渡すと喜ばれるのでしょうか？

[@gweisa899]

Sometime very good quality items will be little more expensive. It is not friendly for anyone budget. However, people will spend that money.

[@LIJ]

I completely understand! I spend plenty of money in my area of video production gear! :)

I think you can design your own stamp at the travellers notebook store. This happened many years and saw Amy tangerine do it in a video. You need a Japanese address too

ネイティブの方が「110」を「One hundred ten」ではなく「One ten」と発音するのを初めて聞きました。愛用している米国・BUCK社のナイフの愛称が「One ten」なのは商品番号が110だからだ、という事は専門誌の記事で知ってはいましたが、実際に聴くと納得の度合いが違うものですね。今日も勉強になりました。ありがとうございます。日本の文具、今は良い物がいっぱい有りますけど、少年時代はドイツのステッドラー社の製品が憧れだったなあ。40年位前の話w

[@taraneal3323]

I noticed you purchased the pens before going to the other floors. Is this something that’s common in stores in Japan? We are visiting next year for the first time!

[@LIJ]

Yes! We take it for granted now, but in most stores you purchase your items on the floor where you found them.

Hello from Victoria BC Canada!

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

Ive never been to Japan but had been in art&craft stores here in Germany. Largest one I had been to was in my hometown tht is as big as the first floor is maybe 5x as big as the floors look like in your video, but the 2nd floor is like 1/2 as big as one floor from our video and it is mainly paints, canvases, brushes,... and some other times. When I first ever been to a art&crafts store I thought it will not be any differnt from the tiny book and stationary store in the town I grew up in but it was totally different. The most known chain in the area of where I live in Germany is mostly (not always) 2 floors and has a mixed variety of decor pieces, stuff to decorate cake and cookies, arts&craft materials and more. The most common thing all stores seem to have is that they mainly focus on selling canvases, papers, pencils, paints and markers. Since I first ever saw one of these rts&Crafts stores on a video from Japan, I would really like to try one out someday, altho I can get many of the brands here too.

[@gerriebell2128]

It was interesting to see a Faber Castell display. I love their water color pencils and have a big set. Curious how the prices in Japan would be compared to in Scotland where we got them when we lived there. Or compared to the U.S. where we live now.

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

@@gerriebell2128 Not sure tho, but the rts&craft stores I been to here in Germany, depending on what type exactly, you can buy individual pencils from the brand from 1,50€ (the kid pencils with the dots on them) to 2,20€ (the polycromos) and sets are between 8€ (for 10 kid pencils) and 28€ (for 10 Goldfarber) as the cheapest sets

[@raleighamelia7895]

Why did I think that the “farm” level was going to actually have farm animals inside the building? Lol

[@LIJ]

Sarah thought there would be flowers, I thought maybe it would highlight some farm project they have outside of the city, but no - lettuce! :) I guess they could have called it "Lettuce Farm"

Po, Japanese stationary also become expensive. Especially pocket planners or notesare very expensive! I guess 1,000yen was not enough.

[@LIJ]

At least the kids bought pens they really wanted! :)

[@gweisa899]

In the $6:58 US dollar, only be able to get a few pens. Ranges from $4 US dollar to $1:50 US dollar.

[@gweisa899]

I am glad able buy something in the range. They will like to use.
