Paper Shop Sakuma

Today I visited "Paper Shop Sakuma," a paper specialty store.

This store welcomes non-specialist customers, and you can buy paper starting from just 22 yen per sheet (A4 size), rather than having to buy in packs of 100.

Here is what I bought today:
  • 5 sheets of A4 180gsm (postcard thickness)
  • 25 sheets of A4 90gsm (a bit thicker than copy paper)
  • 10 envelopes
Total: 770 yen


Then, for some reason (maybe I looked a bit pitiful to them?), they gave me some free notepads.

The atmosphere was low-key and the staff were non-intrusive, but they were kind and polite enough to patiently answer my questions, which must have seemed stupid to them.

Today's Summary
  • Duration: 2 hours (Door-to-door, walked there and took the subway back, including a quick stop at a nearby Toko Store)
  • Cost: 440 yen (250 yen for a one-way subway ticket and 190 yen for coffee on my way home)
  • Walking: 6,700 steps
