Bungukan Takizawa PENBOX

Fabulous Stationery Store in Nishi-ku Niigata!

Quiet, unassuming stationery store hidden away on one of Niigata's many side streets. The store is easy to navigate with all the day-to-day stationery like pens, mechanical pencils, erasers, and ink refills at the front with clear files, notebooks, and more artistically focused products like easels, styrene boards and the like toward the rear. Their greeting card selection is amazing and updated with both western and Japanese-themed offerings. There are also higher end products such as Parker, Cross, and other pens and cases that can be given as gifts if you have a friend/colleague that treasures expertly engineered stationery products. If you're looking for a quick refill, a notebook that's a step from 100 yen store offerings, or even something a bit more sophisticated, this is the stationery store for you. The owner is also a big 80s fan, so the music is always pop songs taken from the era, an interesting flourish to an otherwise amazing shopping experience. Highly recommend!
