The popular DIY and lifestyle store, Hands, is closing its Shibuya location after 48 years. Known for its extensive selection of stationery, crafts, and home improvement supplies, the closure marks the end of an era for the iconic retailer.

Hands, a beloved Shibuya institution for nearly half a century, is closing its doors. This means travelers seeking unique Japanese stationery, craft supplies, or DIY materials will need to find alternative shopping destinations. The Shibuya store was particularly known for its extensive selection and convenient location.

While other Hands locations remain open throughout Japan, the Shibuya closure represents a significant loss for the area. It was a popular spot for both locals and tourists looking for quality goods and inspiration.

Consider visiting other Hands stores in Tokyo or other cities if you're looking for similar items. Check their website for locations and hours before planning your trip.
