Make your own memorable Traveler's Notebook. "Traveler's Factory Nakameguro"

Cherry blossoms in spring, Pacific saury in autumn. Nakameguro is becoming a popular tourist destination in Tokyo, with cafe hopping and strolling along the Meguro River all year round. If you come to this town, you should definitely stop by "Traveler's Factory."

The store has a theme of "tools to help you spend your days like you're traveling," and sells original travel-related products, miscellaneous goods selected from around the world, books that give you a sense of travel, etc. In addition, they also have a wide selection of parts and tools to customize these tools to your liking.

The recommended item at this store is the "Traveler's Notebook." Its unique feature is that you can customize it to your liking by inserting your favorite refills into the single leather cover. For example, you can paste in the paper items you collected on your travels, paste photos of the food and scenery you ate at your travel destination, draw illustrations for your travel diary... Use this notebook to organize your travel memories as you like. Also, since the notebook is based on the concept of "spending every day like you're traveling," it's great to treat your daily life as a "journey" and write it down. The more you use it, the more character the cover will develop, which is why you'll want to keep it on hand. This would also make a great gift for someone who loves to travel.

There is also a space on the second floor where you can relax with a cup of coffee, so if you get tired of walking, you can take a break there. In addition, events and workshops are held about once a month, so if the timing is right, please try participating.

With more and more people moving between offices, cafes, free spaces, airports, and more to work from, the store stocks stylish and convenient goods for when you're working on the go.

If you come to Tokyo for sightseeing, we recommend you pick up the "Itoya Original
"Traveler's Baggage Tag." A baggage tag that serves as a marker for your baggage when you are on a business trip or traveling. The front side, made of recycled leather, features an eye-catching vivid color. The back side is made of a light and soft material with a soft color, and features a different color scheme on the front and back.

The material is Ultrasuede(R), which is surprisingly light, smooth, soft, and durable (Ultrasuede(R) is a registered trademark of Toray). If you attach it to your travel bag or sub-bag, you can easily find it at the airport or hotel. You can also have your name engraved on it, so it is popular as a place card and souvenir for weddings and parties.

In addition to the fifth floor, there is a space called "Write & Post" on the second floor of the building where you can write letters. You can even mail your letter in a real mailbox, so you can have the stylish experience of writing a letter from your travels.

Get unique design items at Daikanyama's "RICCI EVERYDAY The Hill"

In Daikanyama, where stylish select shops line the streets, there is a store that sells travel goods with unique designs. This is "RICCI EVERYDAY The Hill," which just opened in May 2019. It is the only directly managed store in Japan of "RICCI EVERYDAY," a brand from Uganda, Africa.

The store's products are characterized by their colorful and playful "African prints." These original designs are not often seen in Japan, and the subtle differences in color and pattern of each fabric are appealing.

Of course, the travel goods sold at "RICCI EVERYDAY The Hill" are also highly functional. One item we particularly recommend is the "Travel Purse." When traveling, many people change their wallets to ones specifically for travel. This was created as such a "wallet specifically for travel," and is compact enough to fit in a sub-bag. However, it has enough space for cards and bills, so you won't have any trouble with storage capacity. Since you rarely use coins when traveling, the coin purse section has been made small to create a minimalist wallet.

The African prints will surely brighten your hand every time you take them out, and you're sure to feel good just carrying them. They'll be a great accent piece to your travel belongings, which tend to be simple. They're the perfect souvenir for women who love to travel and have a keen sense of fashion.

The store also holds workshops and events that allow you to experience the charms of Africa, as a place where you can "experience Africa while in Japan." One of the great attractions of "RICCI EVERYDAY The Hill" is that you can feel like you're traveling to Africa while sightseeing in Tokyo.

Travel goods have their own appeal, such as functionality, design, and uniqueness. They are all great souvenirs. Furthermore, by stopping by a shop that is only available in Tokyo, you may be able to discover a new experience while sightseeing. If you come to Tokyo, why not enjoy souvenir hunting and sightseeing at a shop that sells travel goods?
