Tokyu Hands


Tokyu Hands Inc., known as Tokyu Hands, is a Japanese department store. Tokyu Hands is part of the Tokyu Department Store, its first store opened in Shibuya, Tokyo in 1976. Tokyu Hands got its start as a DIY store, hence the logo with two hands, and the emphasis on crafts and materials for projects.
Tokyu Hands focuses on hobby, home improvement and lifestyle products. At the Shibuya flagship store, products include toys, games, novelty items, gift cards, gift wrap, costumes, bicycles, travel products, hobby materials, household hardware, tools, do-it-yourself kits, pet supplies, office supplies and stationery; calligraphy, painting, drawing supplies, furniture, lighting, home appliances, and storage solutions.
Also of note is the Ikebukuro location, which contains a cat café called Nekobukuro, or "Cat's House". Some 20 cats roam free in this area, though admission is not free.
Most branches offer free workshops and have demonstrations running on various floors during busy periods. There is a delivery service available for purchases that cannot be taken home on the day.
