Top of my list of shops to visit in Japan is Tokyu Hands. This appears to be my dream store with many floors of kawaii stationery, cute household objects and random craft goods. Tokyu Hands stores seem to be in relative abundance with multiple branches in Tokyo and Osaka with a few bonus stores scattered across the rest of Japan. Hopefully I'll have time to visit the brances in Tokyo - Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro and Ginza, and Osaka - Umeda, Shinsaibashi and Sannomiya.
Having briefly browsed their extensive website I've already started to build quite a hefty wishlist including a panda stationery holder, cute panda mug, panda sticky notes, bear storage pot, apple puzzle and a spoon with a happy face...I'm just pondering whether it would be taking it too far to go all out and buy a panda costume!
The recent video for my favourite band Kaiser Chiefs was shot in Tokyo and featured the band visiting a branch of Tokyu Hands. I was super excited to find that the Kaisers are super fans of Tokyu Hands too! You can see the video here -
