A venerable Kyoto-born purveyor of incense, washi paper and calligraphy supplies, perched on the 14th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square.
Kyukyodo is one of Japan's most storied stationery houses, with roots stretching back over 350 years to Kyoto's Teramachi district. The Shibuya branch, located on the 14th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square, brings the company's refined sensibility to one of Tokyo's busiest neighbourhoods, offering a tranquil counterpoint to the scramble below.
The shop specialises in traditional Japanese paper goods, calligraphy supplies, incense and elegantly designed stationery. Visitors will find beautifully crafted letter papers, envelopes and seasonal greeting cards alongside an extensive range of aromatic incense, from everyday sticks to gift-worthy sets. It is a wonderful place to pick up a considered souvenir or a small luxury that carries genuine cultural weight.
Shibuya Scramble Square is directly connected to Shibuya Station, so the shop is effortless to reach even on a busy itinerary. The 14th-floor location also means you can pair your visit with fine views over the famous crossing, and the store's calm atmosphere makes it a restorative stop amid a day of sightseeing.

Shibuya, a district where one could walk with eyes closed thirty years ago, has undergone dramatic changes, and it may be somewhat intimidating for older individuals to visit, but it is a good location as we hope this restaurant will become more popular…

You can request free name engraving and writing on gift envelopes. It''''s convenient to have such a service in such a handy location. I visited late at night, so I was informed that I would need to pick it up the next day or later. It was extremely helpful that they could complete it quickly. Thank you!
