These brass charms feature taiyaki, a classic Tokyo snack, and sakura, which bloom in various parts of Tokyo in spring. The taiyaki charm can be attached to the elastic of the TRAVELER’S notebook so that it can slide around. The sakura charm can be attached to the string or elastic of the bookmark.

For example, when the town where you live is shown on a movie screen, you may feel as if you are visiting for the first time even though the scenery is familiar to you. When the view is cut and spotlighted through the perspective of a movie camera, the usual scenery takes on a fresh glow, making you feel as if you have visited the place as a traveler.
Even when walking through the same town, a traveler and a person who lives there may have different views. When local residents imagine the perspectives of travelers and travelers imagine the perspectives of local residents, the depth of the town’s scenery becomes deeper and travelers can enjoy the town as if they were walking through TRAVELER’S TOWN, an ideal town for travelers.
TRAVELER’S notebook “TOKYO EDITION” and its customized items are designed with a focus on Tokyo, where TRAVELER’S COMPANY is based.
Walk through the downtown area dotted with sumo stables, take a bath at bathhouses called “sento” when you get tired, and drink a glass of “chuhai” (a Japanese liquor with soda), at an “Izakaya” (a Japanese pub). Cross the river where houseboats float by and you will be greeted by a temple with a history of over 1,000 years. If you get off at a station on the Yamanote line or subway, you will see a cityscape of skyscrapers, a scramble crossing filled with people, and the iconic tower rising like symbol of the city. Sushi, ramen, “anmitsu” (a kind of Japanese dessert), “cream soda” (melon soda float), and “taiyaki” (a fish shaped cake with filling inside). They are all part of Tokyo’s everyday life and, at the same time, they are Tokyo’s sights and specialties that appeal to travelers as well.
We hope that by holding TRAVELER’S notebook “TOKYO EDITION” in your hands, you will walk around Tokyo as if you are a traveler visiting the city as if you were living in Tokyo. Perhaps the next TRAVELER’S notebook may appear in your town.
