Oficina de Cadernos Artesanais em Tóquio

ノート作りワークショップは本当に素晴らしい体験でした！講師兼オーナーの方々は、とても親切で気さくな方々でした。彼らのおかげで、ノート作りの全工程が分かりやすく、楽しいものになりました。彼らが心からこの活動を大切にし、参加者全員にユニークなものを作る喜びを味わってほしいと願っていることが伝わってきました。雰囲気はフレンドリーでリラックスしており、親切でクリエイティブな方々と時間を過ごせて本当に良かったです。 特に3人の子供たちにもとても良く接してくださり、接着剤が乾く前に落として壊れてしまったノートを、すぐに直すために特別な努力までしてくださいました。 私たちは美しい手作りのノートと満面の笑みで帰路につきました。東京旅行中にユニークな体験を求めている方には、このワークショップを強くお勧めします！

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 🫶

Masaki-san and Tomomi-san were absolutely amazing! It was a lovely experience, with plenty of opportunities to customize 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 made it a lovely experience for me, even though I was by myself. They were very clear with their explanations and even demonstrated it themselves so that I could see it better. Definitely recommend.

I booked a journal-binding class and it ended up being one of my favorite days in Japan. As someone who loves stationery, this activity was absolutely perfect for my trip. The instructors were so kind and helpful throughout the entire experience. The paper options were gorgeous and high quality, and we were able to create the entire journal from start to finish, plus personalize the covers. We got a peek into the back of the shop and learned so much about the company’s history and craftsmanship. It was such a mindful, hands-on project and truly a special souvenir to bring home. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a meaningful and creative experience in Tokyo.

This was such a unique experience and super fun to do during our trip. Our teachers were great and super personable. We learnt about the history of the company and how book binding works before we started the process to create our own notebooks. It was a fairly simple process but also complex and rewarding. I would 100% do this again in a future trip!

I really enjoyed my experience at Ito Bindery! I realized that I was the only participant when I arrived that day, and really appreciate that they still took the time to run the class instead of cancel it. There was 1 instructor and 1 translator, which I later found out were mother & son and that they are running a 4th generation family business that started in 1938. The class itself was fun, I could really tell that they take their binding craft seriously and every step was taught meticulously. Aside from that. Their products are so beautifully made and affordable. If you see them in other stores, definitely pick up a notebook or memo pad As a bonus, since I was excited by all the machinery and asking many questions about their business, the CEO offered to give me a tour of the workshop. I gladly accepted and don't regret it!

J'ai passé un moment incroyable à créer de magnifiques carnets ! Je recommande vivement cet atelier et je le referai sans hésiter lors de mon prochain séjour à Tokyo.

Ito Bindery's workshop was relaxing, cozy, and fulfilling. As a stationery enthusiast, I loved being able to take my time enjoying the feel of different papers and selecting my materials. They provide all the equipment (including an apron!) and show you step-by-step how to bind your own notebook. Not only were the hosts lovely and friendly, but they also explained their company's history, the reasoning behind specific steps, and supported you throughout the workshop to ensure the end result would be a wonderful souvenir you could proudly take home. They also assist with engraving your notebook to give it a personal touch. Personally, this was my favorite workshop in Tokyo; it was friendly and felt cozy and intimate as soon as you walked in. Ito Bindery is a family-owned establishment that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. I would highly recommend Ito Bindery's workshop to anyone who enjoys stationery and wants a lovely, personalized gift to take home.

Una experiencia maravillosa no muy lejos del ajetreo y el bullicio de Asakusa. El taller de Ito Bindery es definitivamente una joya escondida. Los cuadernos personalizados que hice son recuerdos perfectos de mi viaje a Japón. Todos fueron muy amables y serviciales, y me encanta que sea un negocio familiar de 3 generaciones. El ambiente era increíblemente cómodo, ¡así que no hay presión si no sabes nada de japonés!

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!
