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!
