Japanese stationery haul from Loft & Hands
On my recent trip to Japan I visited the stationery sections at Loft and Hands many, many times! I’m excited to show you what I got from these two stores, and even more excited to start using it all!
Loft and Hands are both large Japanese department stores which can be found all over Japan. They stock similar ranges of stationery but each time I visit them I always see something new.
Check out some of my other Japanese stationery videos:

    So I was in Japan this past November and I wanted to visit both Travelers Factory stores in Tokyo (the station and the original store in nakameguro) so I accidentally first typed the station and no joking I was going in circles for over an hour with hundreds of people going in all direction, didn't helped I forgot my pocket wifi at my hotel and relied on my phone data and gave me confusing information only for a staff member to tell me it was right behind me. thankfully I only waited 10 minutes before they opened and was their first customer of the day. I just bought some stickers and stuff I liked since I didn't understood the travelers note method but I absolutely loved the vibed of both places that are catered for the travelers heart.

      Kyoto store is wayyy easier to find. It's in a little shopping plaza outside the karasume-oike station. You'll see the ACE hotel, and then there will be a courtyard of shops on the side of the hotel. It's on the left inside the courtyard also (haha). It's not inside the station at all and Google maps will show you very easily without trouble. (It was the first thing I did in kyoto after breakfast!)
