"DIY TRAVELER'S notebook!" – Choose from about 40 types of paper to craft your notebook
Celebrate TRAVELER'S notebook's 20th anniversary at BEB5 Karuizawa on Oct 18–19! Enjoy a 2-day event with notebook crafting and area strolls.
Choose your favorite paper buffet-style from about 40 options—including standard writing paper, textured paper, and colorful paper—to pair with a special cover stamped with an original foil logo. On-site staff will bind and trim it on the spot to create a one-of-a-kind notebook refill. Enjoy the touch of the paper and the scent of the ink as you create a notebook to capture your travel memories.
A stamp rally event will also take place concurrently, allowing you to enjoy the rich nature of Karuizawa while exploring. Original stamps created newly for this event will appear at four locations: BEB5 Karuizawa, Hoshino Onsen Tonbo-no-yu, Picchio Wildlife Research Center, and Karuizawa Hotel Bleston Court. Stroll through the area as the autumn leaves deepen, and record your travel memories in your newly made notebook.
