(April, 2019). One of the main places I wanted to visit with my Mom and brothers was Itoya in Ginza. What's that? Well, it's a Japanese stationary store split between two buildings, about 10 levels between the two, or so. It's a nerds dream, and I wanted to experience this dream. Itoya is about a 9 minutes walk from Tokyo Station, if you don't get distracted, at about 700 meters.
There are many things in this area I wanted to see. There's a Kabuki theater. The Imperial Palace is about a mile walk from Itoya, which was our plan. Visit Itoya, maybe visit other stores, and then walk to the Imperial Palace. We got distracted. Didn't follow the plan. We went on a Sunday, and on Sunday's the major shopping street in Ginza is closed to vehicles and completely opened for pedestrians. It was so much fun that we ended up spending our whole time here. And I loved geeking over Japanese stationary, and later music stuff at the Yamaha store.
