A PDF version of my guide to the best cute and crafty shops in Tokyo.

Going to Tokyo in the next week and can’t wait for a postman to deliver a printed copy? No problem! This special PDF edition for last minute travelers is streamlined for printing – it’s got all the same shopping information as the printed version but none of the extras and only includes images of the shops and their logos to save you some ink!

The shopping guide covers a range of crafty and cute shops for fabric, sewing supplies, washi, stationery, Print Gocco, kawaii, toys and homewares. I tell you where to find them (with proper directions), what they look like, what they sell and what the prices are like.

Shops/areas included:
Akihabara, Aranzi Aronzo, Daiso, Itoya, Kiddyland, Lemmon, Loft, Lucky Star, Nakamise Dori, Okadaya, Sanrio Gift Gate, Sunshine City, Super Potato, Tama Depa, Tokyu Hands, Tomato and Fabric Town/Nippori.

PDF Details:
The PDF is set up ready to print in black and white and requires just a printer, two sheets of A4 paper, scissors and a stapler. Full instructions for printing and assembling are included.

Offers:
It also includes a special discount voucher in case you want to order the real thing, or the Ten Days in Tokyo zine on your return.

A link to download the files will be emailed to your order address within 48 hours of ordering.

This exactly what I was looking for to guide me to the cutest shopping destinations in Tokyo

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed both the 10 days in Tokyo and the shopping guide. I'm planning my first trip to Tokyo this Fall; none of the big guides have been that inspiring, but yours are. Even my husband, who has no desire to go to Tokyo, thought they were a great read. (He still isn’t going.)

Wonderful. Can't wait to visit the shops in Tokyo in a couple of months!

Fantastic info, can't wait to go to Japan.

Perfect little guide. This will be my 7th trip to Tokyo and even though I know a lot of the places in this guide there are still a few little gems that I will be checking out. A lot of thought has gone into this and I think if it was expanded it would make a great book publication.

I just returned from Japan yesterday and wanted to tell you that your “Tokyo Shopping Guide” was the most useful guidebook I had! I visited Loft, Tokyu Hands, Okadaya, and Ito-Ya and found each store without a problem. I left Japan with: handmade paper, rubber stamps, stickers (so many stickers!), pens...

A super Tokyo guide. Looks like many good tips and ideas about shopping in Tokyo.

I just got my tokyo zine and shopping guide in the post (only a couple of days after ordering!) and they are wonderful. I'm having a hard time putting them down and not greedily reading them both all in one go. I hope to go to tokyo one day, hopefully when I get there some of these wondeful places you describe will still be there!

Wonderful! I can't wait for my trip and this is such an invaluable resource!

I bought your two Tokyo zines and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading them. You make me wish that I was going back to Japan soon, so I could look at all the interesting shops that I didn’t have a chance to see last time. Your zines are really well-written and your enthusiasm for everything Japanese comes across in them well.
