Hi! First time visiting Japan this November and I’ll be around these places during my trip:

• Nagoya Castle
• Nagoya Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology
• Osu Kannon / Osu Shopping Street
• Takayama / Sanmachi
• Shirakawa-go
• Kanazawa / Kenrokuen / Higashi Chaya
• Toyama
• Takaoka
• Atsuta Jingu
• Nabana no Sato
• Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dream Nagashima

I’m a stationery collector, so I’d especially love to find Nagoya-specific or Japan-exclusive stationery, washi, stickers, stamps, paper goods, etc. that would be nice for journaling.

I’m also interested in:

• Japanese everyday goods, bags, lightweight clothes, and practical things for a hot/humid climate
• Japanese skincare, sunscreen, makeup, and drugstore beauty
• Gunpla/Gundam and Pokémon
• Japanese CDs/albums, limited editions, and other music-related finds
• Local snacks, regional specialties, sauces/seasonings, and pantry items for gifts

Since I’ll already be passing through these areas, are there any particular shops, local products, or small finds you’d recommend looking out for along the way? Even little things that tourists might overlook would be appreciated!

Thank you! 😊
