Popular souvenir items at Tambaya include a reprinted pin badge and tote bag of the hotel’s old design, a Blooming Nakanishi handkerchief, and original flavored tea in collaboration with Bedjeman & Burton. These products are all designed to give visitors a sense of the history and charm of Tokyo Station and the Tokyo Station Hotel.
The pin badges and tote bags are especially eye-catching with their retro and stylish designs. The handkerchiefs and teas are soothing with their high-quality materials and fragrance.
I also bought two handkerchiefs with the Tokyo Station Hotel logo on them as a keepsake.
There were 4 colors (white, pink, blue, and purple) and I couldn’t decide which one to get! I chose colors that I don’t think people buy often! Blue and purple are perfect for men’s gifts, aren’t they?
