Gekkoso — Local services in Tokyo

My wife and I went here years ago looking for stationary and art supplies. Not the easiest to find, but now that social media has exploded it's better to visually to track the shop down there with pics from other posters.

Located on the ground floor, there is also a small staircase down to a basement area where a cute café resides.

Regardless, it's one of the best art supply shops I've been to ever. My wife bought an art denim canvas backpack years ago and it's one of her most prized bags years after she purchased it.

Highly recommended!

EDIT: We just went back (December 2019) for the first time in years and it’s just as cool as we remembered.

My wife went gaga finding that they still had those canvas bags so she updated her old one with a new purchase. I bought the solid looking zippered leather pencil case which I think will last me for years.

Still highly...

Tough to find but I have included a photograph of the entrance. Once you get in, it is a small but magical place. I am no artist but the stuff here sure makes me wish I was one. The paper, the colours, the sketch books everything is delightful. The staff is extremely courteous...

Best gift for myself💕must visit for anyone who likes to paint/sketch. Stop by, look around. There will be something you can't leave without! Wonderful assistants to help you narrow down your choices when things get out of hand!😂...
