Located in Omotesando, right behind Omotesando Hills, Bunbougu Cafe, or stationery cafe, is a popular place for people who like to be artsy as they eat, chat, or study. Each customer gets a large empty placemat and access to a wide assortment of writing utensils, and the rest is up to the customer! There are no hidden costs, and one can even pay for an annual membership that leads to discounts on the menu and access to a special key that unlocks a drawer full of special stationery. One can also purchase stationery at the cafe store.
