Situated in Tokyo’s Nishi-Ogikubo area, which acts as the capital’s antiques hub, Tori Tori is a quirky and relaxed antiques store located a few minutes walk from JR Nishi-Ogikubo Station. Adjacent to another excellent antiques store, Kidoairaku, Tori Tori is renowned for dealing in Japanese dolls.
Vibrant and full of life Tori Tori specializes, mostly, in hinakazari or dolls used for hinamatsuri (event that prays for girls' healthy growth and happiness). The incredible display of vintage dolls from various historical periods is spellbinding and a reminder of Japan’s profound connection with history and antiquities. The store also sells other, quirky dolls in a variety of styles as well as a fine collection of textiles, furniture, miniatures, toys and hand-crafted sensu (Japanese hand held fans) which are popular with many visitors looking for a taste of genuine Japanese culture.
Tori Tori, then, is a window into Japan’s rush, cultural past and is a flourishing member of Nishi-Ogikubo’s antiques scene.
