In this video, I’m unpacking a fresh Traveler’s Notebook haul from my Japan 2025 trip—basically a little snapshot of the kind of stuff I can’t resist when I’m roaming around Kyoto and beyond. I picked up inserts from Traveler’s Factory Kyoto and TSL Kurashiki, plus a Traveler’s Notebook from the Chi Chu Art Museum (which, yes, can be a bit of a “hunt” depending on timing and stock). If you’re into stationery the way I am—where the object is half the fun and the setup is the other half—this one’s for you. I do a proper show-around of what I bought, then I start setting things up so it’s not just a haul for the sake of it. I talk through what each insert is for, how I’m thinking of using them, and why these Japan-only (or Japan-first) finds hit different when you’re building an ongoing life archive. If you’re planning your own TN run in Japan, I also linked a helpful Reddit thread for Chi Chu TN hunting so you can go in with your eyes open.
