A decision guide, not a catalog

BUNGU is an English-language guide for people choosing and buying Japanese stationery. We focus on the questions that change a real purchase or itinerary: which Tokyo store fits your goal, which planner format fits your routine, what an award result actually means, and which Japan-specific product details matter before you pay.

How we verify changing information

Store hours, floor directories, release dates, stock policies, product specifications, and award results can change. When those facts are material to a guide, we prefer the relevant manufacturer, store, event organizer, or other primary source and link it in the article. Old visitor reports can provide context, but they are not treated as proof of current stock or opening information.

What we do not claim

An article is not presented as first-hand testing, an in-person store visit, or original photography unless that evidence actually exists for the article. When a guide is based on published sources and product information, it is written as research and decision support, not as invented personal experience.

How we earn

BUNGU may earn from affiliate links and advertising. Commercial relationships do not turn a product into a winner or a store into a recommendation. See the affiliate disclosure for details.

Corrections and contact

If a store has moved, a specification changed, or a guide states something incorrectly, please contact the editorial desk. Time-sensitive pages are more useful when errors are corrected rather than preserved for consistency.
