Walks through this lens

Walking times are estimates from OpenStreetMap’s surface street network at 80 m/min. They exclude underpasses, decks, station concourses, signal waits, slopes and movement inside buildings. Straight-line links are not walking routes; follow on-site signs even where a time is shown. Shaded quarters show the approximate areas around FOW’s selected places.

Make a sheet or choose a book

Ozu Washi

Choose between browsing washi and making a sheet yourself.

Continue with this place ↗

A sheet you made

Ozu’s direct course makes one A4 sheet in about 45 minutes for same-day take-home. Compare plain ¥1,000, water-drop pattern ¥1,200 and decorated design ¥1,500. The English-guided information-centre offer is a separate booking, about 60 minutes and ¥9,000 per group of 1–4. Check space and participation conditions within one channel; finish with paper shopping if making does not fit.

A new book to read now

Sanseido’s new main store is at 1-1 Kanda Jimbocho. Use the branch reopened in 2026, not the former temporary shop. Choose it to compare recent books broadly, and check stock separately for a specific title.

Picture books chosen together

Book House is a separate shop on Kitazawa Building 1F. Choose a picture book together and check cafe last orders if you want a seat. Do not count the upstairs antiquarian shop or next-door hotel as this Place. Choose one place for your purpose; Nihonbashi and Jimbocho need not become a compulsory combined route.

    The washi-focused editorial team records personally attempting papermaking; that historical experience is separate from current booking terms. The publisher also sells washi products; payment and hosting for this visit remain unknown.

    Kaiseiweb interviews Book House Cafe’s 茅野由紀 and introduces the shop. This is a book publisher’s feature about a book retailer, with that commercial relationship retained. Payment and hosting have not been separately established.
