Tokyu Hands

Full of useful stuff, and non-useful stuff, and wacky stuff, and just… full of awesome.

Every chance and every paycheck I got while living in Japan, I went to Tokyu Hands.. BEST store ever.. I could spend hours in there.. so many fun things to buy and materials to make fun stuff
I miss it terribly :(

Just what I had been looking for in terms of wacky gifts.

When I was 18 I went to Tokyo with no money and was homeless for 10 days.
My friend and I bought some sleeping bags and a tarp at Tokyu Hands.
We slept in Yoyogi Park.

Has everything and anything you would want – furniture, homewares, hardware, souvenirs, stationery, cosmetics & healthcare, knick-knacks. You name it, they’ve got it.

I went to the flagship one in Shinjuku which was massive. My tip is to take the elevator to the top and work your way down!
