After almost half a decade, the original Hands (formerly Tokyu Hands) is officially closing this November.
A lease disagreement is bringing the curtain down on this legendary DIY playground, and also Seibu Shibuya department store.
Hands Shibuya has been our trusty joint for everything from home improvement tools and hobby supplies to an incredible stationery haul. 🛠️🖊️ Whether you need professional woodcarving tools or are hunting for the perfect planners, pens, and sticky notes, Hands always left us spoiled for choice.

Pokémon has announced its plans to open a mini-theme park called PokéPark Kanto inside the already-existing Yomiuriland Theme Park.
Yomiuriland is on the border between Tokyo and Kanagawa and is known for water rides in the summer and illuminations in the winter.
No date or year for the opening was given.
(And in case you missed it our recent video about all the current Pokémon centers in Tokyo https://youtu.be/RmltOywUdmA )
