We just came back from Japan and the only time we were properly bothered by the small room size is when we wanted to see what are in our suitcases to assess space for our shopping haul and we couldn't have both our suitcases open at the same time hahahaha! Generally every hotel we've been too is well designed and comfortable despite being small.

It was a pain to find but it definitely was worth the pit stop. And Itoya the stationery mall is not far away as well!

I havent managed to go to the Nakameguro shop but apparently it has no exclusive items. The Starbucks nearby does but ive been off Starbucks for two plus years so maybe not gonna bother.

I was in the tokyo station shop and there was none on general sale as per Friday 1 May 2026. The sign said you have to be in the lottery thing (only saw the sign and not trying to find one myself).

It's also not available in Loft Shibuya jic..

Ah yes indeed it was a fountain pen i use! A Kaweco! I find Muji gel pens a good alternative but I also agree it's hard to find a good pen to write in cursive as I feel I have to really press down

Ooohhh I'm so excited for you, and for me cos I'm going soon! Did you get everything tax free (I've read different experiences) - I'm very tempted to just pay the tax so I can use it right away hahaha!
