Tegami-dokoro Hamacho
Tegami-dokoroHamacho
A Place to Write and Send Your Thoughts
Nestled quietly in Nihonbashi Hamacho,
this is a peaceful retreat—
slightly removed from the bustle of the city,
yet always within reach.
On the third floor of an old building,
you’ll find a quiet space dedicated to writing letters.
As you gaze out through the wide windows,
words begin to come to you naturally.
Here, you can spend a calm, reflective moment—
facing yourself, or someone dear to you.
