TOKYO VLOG: shopping in Tokyo's BIGGEST STATIONERY STORE!

I can't believe I didn't come to Itoya sooner! It's just floors and floors filled with any stationery, art supplies and home accessories you could ever think of!

So the actual difference between the two Itoya’s isn’t actually the price range. One is for stationary, like pens, pencils, different types and thicknesses of paper, postcards, ink, leather bound books, calculators, etc. The second one is geared more towards art supplies like, colored pencils, markers, different kind of paints, paint brushes, sketch books, etc.

[@Kakibot]

Yeah maybe the message came across a bit confusingly - I agree that the main difference is in the types of goods! But to me personally it felt like the taller Itoya definitely stocks more premium products than the smaller one, which is definitely a lot more 'practical' in focus, and that comes with a different kind of price tag .)

[@michellajh9888]

May I know where the second itoya building is located ?

[@marketacerna1416]

Oh my gosh. That's definitely heaven!

[@Lusithane]

omg YES! I'm loving you so much right now for showing all 8 floors of Itoya! I've always wanted to at least glance at them but in most of the other videos I've seen they only tape a bit of the floor they visit and that's all.

[@Kakibot]

Awww I'm so glad you appreciated it! I know what you mean, I love when I can watch a video and imagine I'm browsing the place myself!

[@basicdose.9872]

Wow. Love it.

[@uzairsa]

great video! i love to see videos of people exploring and travelling, specially Japan. awesome vlogging skills, where u actually showed, and gave ample screen time to what u had written in the title. thank you for keeping the camera steady and letting us look properly during the shop tour. i love cameras and stationary,so would love to visit them both.

[@Kakibot]

Thanks, I appreciate that! I also like when a video gives me a bit of time to have a look at things - but sometimes I really have to remind myself to go slow, especially when panning!

[@uzairsa]

ya, panning can be difficult and tricky to pull off sometimes. i study film-making so i know :D love from Pakistan

[@Kakibot]

Oooooh so cool! What would you like to do once you're finished with your studies?

[@uzairsa]

we have a re-emerging film industry here in Pakistan, so i want to work here in the production design department (hopefully as an art director)by next year. that's the goal, hopefully it works out :)

[@Kakibot]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Sounds like a super exciting opportunity to take .)

[@JumonkeyOnline]

Thanks for sharing real glad to see your all having a great time :) also nice to see your channel growing

[@Kakibot]

Thanks! It's been going pretty well with both travels and some increase of interest in what we make these past months, makes me super happy .) Thank you for coming by and watching!

[@JumonkeyOnline]

My pleasure :)

[@neonzebra7367]

Just came across your channel, your editing and content is so cool! I'd LOVE to go to Japan, especially Tokyo, mainly because of the interesting food and culture (also the stationery 😍🎨). Glad I saw this video, I subscribed of course! Hope to see more travel/art videos! 😊

[@Kakibot]

Awww thank you so much! I'm hoping I'll be able to make more Japan videos in a couple of months, there's just always so much more to see and do there, I don't believe anyone could ever get tired of visiting Japan! What's your favourite Japanese food? .3

[@benjones1458]

With all that amazing stationery around, how is it even possible to select even one pen that you want without buying large amounts of unnecessary stationery because you want to try all of it to find the perfect one????

[@ryuray1677]

The extent of your wallet ofcourse and whether you'd be able to pay off your bills for the month post, the shopping :)

[@MeretelovesJapan]

Ooooh I need to go to that shop next time! :D And the wagyu...

[@naex4785]

I love ur channel ❤👑 keep up

[@userbabs2018]

Omg heaven!

[@robertrussell7669]

Great video guys, I am so glad to see your new video. And must say hats off to Simon on making a stationery shop look that interesting, not that there not at all. And of course you presented it great. Ya, I know better then to offend a Czech women. I was a grown man and my 91 year old Czech grandma still loved to smack me upside the head. And I was always so good. But really, good job guys. Next your off to Hong Kong you said? Great City for sure. Hope you have a blast there. Can`t wait to see it.

[@Kakibot]

Haha .D actually this one was all me! Simon was too busy taking pictures that day ,) generally if we're shooting something shorter from just one area, especially if it's low-light (because his camera deals with that better than mine!), then he'll be the camera man, but when I'm shooting something throughout the day or at home I shoot the footage myself .)

[@sunako85]

Seriously mind blown right now. Dafuq that farm tho 🙌🏻 and love the way you filmed the store. Great job!!!❤️👌🏻

[@KeishaatThePaperMint]

I now know what stationery store I must visit! Thanks for the great video! P.S. the food scenes made me hungry, do you remember the name of the izakaya you visited?

[@Kakibot]

Aw man, I really wish I could... had a look around TripAdvisor but there's just SO MANY in the area! It was in Shinjuku, in the area around most of the department stores.

[@KeishaatThePaperMint]

Kakibot thanks so much for trying!

[@julianal.8686]

damn school is so time consuming in japan and i only have sundays off. and since i have plans for the next four weeks on sunday i have to wait a month till i can go there😭

[@Kakibot]

Damn that sounds exhausting .| What are you studying? A language school or a high school/university exchange?

[@julianal.8686]

Kakibot just a private high school a little bit out of tokyo. also i have club activities everyday so i cant go anywhere after school.

[@Kakibot]

Oof, sounds rough! Good luck with all of that

[@SpottedJournal]

Hello! I just stumbled across your channel and think we need to be friends :D haha ok that sounds creepier than saying it in my mind.. I am crazy about stationery and travelling too. I love Itoya, did you go to Loft and Tokyu Hands too?

[@Kakibot]

Haha, not creepy at all! I always feel kinda awkward about approaching people on KZbin with the good old 'we have so much in common, let's totes be friends!', but... is there really a better way? Haha. But yeah, I totally love Loft and Tokyu Hands too! I think Loft my be might favourite of the three! I love to check out the non-stationery gifts and kitchen goodies whenever I am there, too.

[@arnavghosh8267]

Cant wait to meet you guys, especially Simon so that we can geek out over cameras and lenses haha, while you and Bex can talk about vlogging :D

[@arnavghosh8267]

Were you guys in Tokyo during late March / early April 2017? We were there during the same time too, but we missed Ginza unfortunately!

[@jinlacrimosa8041]

First video I saw of yours.. Subscribed!😂

[@Kakibot]

Thankyooooouuu! Let me know if there's any sort of vid you'd be interested in watching in the future .3 trying to figure out what people appreciate seeing on this channel .)

[@jinlacrimosa8041]

Kakibot Will do! :)

[@jmgranat]

I'll definitely have to go there on our next trip. I've been to Sekaido in Shinjuku before and it was pretty awesome.

[@Kakibot]

That's the one that I keep missing! Next time I definitely need to go to Sekaido. I have to admit that the more I go to Tokyo the more I avoid Shinjuku but that's also because we tend to stay around Asakusa which has much better connection to places like Ginza and Shibuya!

[@heybidadary9224]

Hi may i know the price for that copic marker?

[@Kakibot]

I believe they're about $4/£3 in Japan! So almost half the price the individual markers tend to be in UK!

[@heybidadary9224]

Kakibot so around 100yen right? Thank youu I'm gonna calculate my budget 😅 I'm going to Japan next spring will definitely drop by this shop, daiso, muji, Tokyu hands 💕

[@Kakibot]

$4 is more like 350 yen .) It's totally worth it getting them there! Next time I go I will come prepared with a list of shades I am still missing >.> hope you have a great stationery shopping time!

[@heybidadary9224]

Kakibot ohh yess 350yen excuse my pass midnight *here* calculation 😅 btw thank you so muchh have a nice day 😙

[@autodecline1634]

I WANT TO GO TO JAPAN RIGHT NOW!

[@Briaunaj1234]

Do you have a translator/speak japanese? Or did you get by just fine without knowing the writings?

[@Kakibot]

I can read some basic Japanese and sometimes we used the Google translate app if we felt like we needed it (not mega reliable but will do)... but overall I don't think the language barrier is something to be worried about. Japanese packaging/menus/etc tend to be quite visual so it's generally easy to figure things out!

[@Phoebe.Panda92]

作为一个手帐爱好者，这里就是梦想中购物的天堂啊！

[@atmosphere95]

10,000? There are some high quality Japanese golden nib fountain pens less than $100.
