What is the TRAVELER’S Brass Charm TOKYO?
It’s a pair of solid brass charms, a taiyaki and a cherry blossom, that Traveler’s Company made to decorate the TRAVELER’S notebook. The brand designed them around Tokyo, where it is based: taiyaki is a classic Tokyo snack, and sakura bloom across the city in spring.
The set belongs to the TRAVELER’S notebook TOKYO EDITION, which went on sale on April 25, 2024. Unlike the cover in that edition, the charms fit any TRAVELER’S notebook you already own.

The package to scale; the maker doesn't publish the charms' own size.
How do the two charms attach?
The taiyaki threads onto the closure elastic and slides along it; the sakura ties to a bookmark cord or to the elastic. Those are the two uses Traveler’s Company describes.
On the elastic, the taiyaki sits on the front of the cover, so it shows every time you close the notebook. The sakura is smaller, so it suits a bookmark cord hanging out of the bottom, or a zipper pull on a bag, which is our suggestion rather than the maker’s.
Does it fit a Passport-size notebook?
It should: both sizes close with the same kind of round elastic, and the maker calls these TRAVELER’S notebook charms without naming a size. On the smaller Passport size, the taiyaki covers more of the front, so check the look before you commit.
Traveler’s Company doesn’t publish the charms’ dimensions or weight, and we haven’t measured them yet.
How does it compare with other TRAVELER’S brass pieces?
It’s the cheapest way into the brand’s brass range and the only one that’s purely decorative.
All three are solid brass and will darken together, so a matched set ages evenly.
Will the brass change colour?
Yes. Solid brass darkens and softens in tone as it oxidizes and is handled, which Traveler’s Company presents as part of the appeal. The maker says the charms “change” the more you use them.
If you prefer a bright finish, a brass polish brings it back; if you like patina, leave it alone.
What is a taiyaki, and why a sakura?
A taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake filled with sweet bean paste, sold from street stalls all over Tokyo; the sakura is the cherry blossom that covers the city each spring. Traveler’s Company chose both to stand for Tokyo, its home.
The TOKYO EDITION’s idea, in the maker’s words, is that people in Tokyo should write as if they’re traveling, and visitors as if they live there.
Is it a good gift?
Yes, for anyone who already owns a TRAVELER’S notebook: it’s small, under $20 at most US shops, and works with the notebook they have. It also arrives on a printed card, so it needs little wrapping.
For someone new to the system, pair it with a notebook; on its own it has nothing to hang on.
Where is the Brass Charm TOKYO made?
In Japan. The product page prints MADE IN JAPAN, and Traveler’s Company says a craftsman at a press factory near Tokyo stamps each charm one by one. The brand belongs to Designphil, the Tokyo company behind Midori.
What comes in the TRAVELER'S Brass Charm TOKYO pack?
Two solid brass charms: a taiyaki, the fish-shaped cake sold all over Tokyo, and a sakura, or cherry blossom. They come on one card in a package of 128 × 96 × 9 mm.
How do you put a charm on a TRAVELER'S notebook?
Thread the taiyaki onto the closure elastic, where Traveler's Company says it slides along the band. Tie the sakura to a bookmark cord or to the elastic.
Do the TOKYO charms fit the Passport size?
Traveler's Company doesn't name a size; it calls them TRAVELER'S notebook charms. Both sizes close with a round elastic, so the taiyaki should thread onto either, but we haven't tried it yet.
Will the brass charms tarnish?
They darken with use, which is the point: Traveler's Company says solid brass changes and gains character the more you use it. Polish them if you want the shine back.
Is the TOKYO charm set still available?
It launched on April 25, 2024 as a TOKYO EDITION item, and US shops such as The Journal Shop and Yoseka Stationery still list it. Stock varies by shop.
Are the TRAVELER'S TOKYO charms made in Japan?
Yes. The maker prints MADE IN JAPAN on the product page and says each charm is stamped by hand at a press factory near Tokyo.
How much does the Brass Charm TOKYO cost?
¥1,760 (about US$11) with tax in Japan. Imported, it sits in our $$ band ($5–20) at US shops.
