Tokyo Store Sells Personalized Notebooks with Wide Range of Options Available; Books Ready to Take Home on Same Day

Some people feel unsatisfied when using commercially available notebooks. Maybe the cover isn’t so good even though it is fine for writing in. At a notebook store in Tokyo, customers are given the chance to create their perfect notebook, one which is functional and has an attractive design.I recently visited the store to create my ideal notebook to use for my work as a reporter. Hinine Note’s Yoyogi Park store in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, is a custom-made notebook store, with colorful notebooks lined up on the shelves and stacks of sample paper placed on a desk.“Now, please pick your specifications,” said store manager Akari Yagi. She handed me an order sheet with a list of choices. I then compared the samples and wrote down the product numbers I wanted.In my mind, the ideal notebook has pages with a rough texture that is suitable for ballpoint pens. I like writing with blue ink, so paper with a light tint would be ideal. The size should be suitable for one-handed use so that I can take notes easily while standing.
