My boyfriend and I just visited this shop. We are visiting Tokyo from NY and we are so glad we came here. Inoue and his wife were very kind and knowledgeable and all of their products were quality and beautiful- it was so difficult to decide on what to buy. We will have to come back next time to buy more. Thank you, Inoue!

If you are doing wood work, this is the place to be. Some metal smiths are going out of business and it's hard to find good tools these days. They still carry the works of those retired (dead stocks). Go visit them when the Corona thing is over.

I’ve visited this shop several times now and the owners always very helpful. Great tools. Very happy.

Finally found a great woodwork tool shop on my last day in Japan. Small shop with beautiful handmade Japanese woodwork tools. The people at my hostile called ahead to make sure they would be open. The owner and his wife were very friendly and helpful. He was able to answer all questions and make some recommendations. Thankfully he spoke some English because my Japanese is week at best. Some of the kanna (Japanese hand planes) ranged up as high as 28,000 yen. I bought one for 11,800. I also bought a small chisel (nomi) and hammer (gennoh) in order to set the blade. Finally I picked up two water stones that he recommended for sharpening. Great experience and a souvenir that I will enjoy using for many years.

I concur with other reviews - a lovely little shop with a welcoming and helpful owner who speaks just about enough English to help non-Japanese speaking customers. Beautiful tools - the handmade ones are quite expensive, though Inoue does stock some cheaper machine made alternatives for some tools. It's also a lovely shop to visit even if you just want to see what a niche Japanese shop is like. Note that the shop doesn't have a sign outside, and no website, so check out the helpful photo of the shop on google maps. When I arrived it was hard to know if it was open as there was no one inside, so I just tried the doors. Well worth a visit.
