Traveler's Factory makes my favorite customizable notebook and I use it extensively when planning my trips to Japan and while I'm there. It's my safety net in case I break my phone, it's my something to page through while waiting, it's my second-guess-myself prevention while jet-lagged, it's my record of everything and everywhere. I pack it full and call it my "itinerary of doom." I never do everything in it but I have a wonderful time trying. I'll make a post of my planning and memory notebooks in the future. Anyway, the store is a bit of a mecca for me because there are only a few retailers in the US and none in my region. Ordering online is just not the same.
Let's just say I stocked up a bit. It seemed like a good idea at the time since the yen was down and US retailers mark up this brand substantially a lot. But these are heavy items and I paid for it in baggage overage fees. Next trip I'm learning how to ship things home.
The limited edition Pan-am Blue cover was released in 2015 and the store had an interesting display of Pan-am artifacts in the upstairs lounge.
Note: This shop is usually closed on Tuesdays. They were open because it was Silver Week.
