Handmade Notebook Workshop in Tokyo

We had such a great experience at the notebook-making workshop! The instructors/owners were incredibly accomodating and personable. They made the whole process easy to follow and fun. You could tell they really care and want everyone to enjoy creating something unique. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and it was great to spend time with such kind, creative people. They were especially great with our 3 kids and even made an extra effort to quickly fix a notebook that was dropped and broke before the glue had dried. We left with beautiful handmade notebooks and big smiles—highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a unique hands-on experience while traveling in Tokyo!

My daughter and I had a phenomenal experience in this class. We had a great time, learned a lot, and left with personalized gifts to bring home. The owner even gave us a tour of the facility and answered our questions about the machines. I'd highly recommend!

this was a truly great experience! Both the owner and his wife were so nice and patient with us as they guided us (me, my wife, and my daughter) through the process of making a notebook. not only was it fun, we got to nerd out and talk about fountain pens, different types of paper, etc.

This was a wonderful workshop for our group of 3. We did this at the start of our trip to use our books as a travel journal for the rest of our trip in Japan. You not only have the opportunity to create a book, but also see a glimpse of the bindery at work in the same building.

My 14 year-old daughter and I found this to be one our favorite experiences in Asakusa. We made 6 customized, quality notebooks between us. Masaki and Tomo mai (instructors and shop owners) were incredibly sweet and professional.

Wow! Such a peaceful and mindful activity guided by the friendliest people in Japan! Loved having the choice to make notebooks with a variety of exquisite and unique papers! Thank you Ito Bindery, I will be back again 🫶

A really great experience! Very friendly, we had a great conversation. They have beautiful leaves and personalizing them was fun too. I ended up spending two hours there. I would definitely recommend it. As decoration (if you don't think it's a shame to use), souvenir or for family/friends. A great workshop.

Highly recommend this workshop. My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves and made beautiful notebooks!!! A one of a kind keepsake from our visit to Tokyo!

This was a phenomenal experience. They made sure that we understood each and every step before moving on to the next one. I would recommend trying this. The options that they had for the pages. This makes great gifts for friends and family.

Masaki-san and Tomomi-san were absolutely amazing! it was a lovely experience, there was a lot of opportunity for customising your own notebooks. You can make four booklets with 20 sheets, two books with 40 sheets or one book with 80 sheets. they were super knowledgeable about their craft and they made it a lovely experience for me even though I was by myself. They were very clear with their explanation and even demonstrated it themselves so that I can see it better. Definitely recommend.
