This is also my travel journal. Since it’s always with me,
it’s where I jot down thoughts and observations. I usually try to take time to
write while on transit – on train rides or on plane trips. I stick entry
tickets and calling cards during my trip.
In Japan, there are usually stamps in tourist destinations
and several train stations. It’s a great cheap way to have a souvenir of the
destination. In Shibuya, you can find stamps depicting Hachiko in the tourist
information bus near the Hachiko station. In train stations, they are usually
near ticketing stations.
On my travel journal kit, I bring a small pair of scissors,
double sided tape, cute washi tapes, and colored pens. You’ll need to put this
in your check baggage on plane rides.
