A place filled with the charm of Itoya today, including original brands and bespoke services
Itoya Co., Ltd. is a stationery specialty store founded in 1904 (Meiji 37) in Ginza, Tokyo.
Itoya, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary since its founding, will be renovating part of its Ginza flagship store on May 8, 2024.
We have created a new floor for our original brands and bespoke services in the K.Itoya building behind the main building (G.Itoya), aiming to create a place filled with the charm that can only be found at Itoya.
Red Clip on K.Itoya Building
The red clip, which is a landmark for customers at the G.Itoya building facing Ginza street, has now appeared at K.Itoya as part of the store's renovation. It is 2.5m high and 0.7m wide. It is the same size as the clip at the G.Itoya building, but at K.Itoya you can get a feel for its size up close. We recommend taking a photo with the red clip as a memento of your visit.

Message from the CEO
Thanks to you, Itoya will celebrate its 120th anniversary, its second 60th birthday, in June 2024.
Since rebuilding our flagship store in 2015, we have strived to evolve our physical stores from a place where customers simply come to purchase products to a destination where customers can enjoy the shopping experience itself, including the time they spend there, conversations with salespeople, and encounters with authentic products that have been carefully selected one by one.
To mark our 120th anniversary, we have updated the K. Itoya Building, which bears the initials of our founder, Katsutaro Ito, into a store that more strongly reflects the current Itoya worldview.
What you can find there are Itoya's original products such as ROMEO and COLOR CHART, as well as bespoke services to meet the "wants" of each individual customer. Also, there are salespeople in each corner that express their own unique worldview, making for fun conversation.
The K.Itoya Building is located on Azuma Street, one block away from Ginza Street. Experience the relaxed and calm environment that Itoya has striven to create for 120 years: a store that is comfortable to visit every day, and where each and every customer can gain new inspiration.
We hope you will find shopping truly enjoyable.
