A Walk Thru the Ginza

Upon our return from Kamakura, we decided to stop in the Ginza to explore some of the stores. Deb was on a quest to visit Itoya, a renowned stationary store that offered pens.

Itoya was a short walk East of the Yurokucho station, in the Northern extent of the Ginza shopping area. The store was a typical narrow store front with many levels, in a very nice area of the Ginza. Worldwide brands like Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Harry Winston,and Apple <grin>.

Though interesting, Itoya was a bust. No pens of interest for Deb, but a few unique offerings if one is into paper and crafts.


Some interesting calendars.





This is  kit to build your own miniature orchestra!


This is an Origami kit to build your own panda bear.


But not a complete bust, as we walked over to Tokyo Station, and Deb found a favorite store: Traveler's Factory, a new store selling the Traveler's Notebook journal. This is a product from Midori that son Mark told Deb about. It is a journaling system. Of course, I encourage Deb to pick up the special edition for Tokyo Station.
