Ginza Takagen is Japan’s very first store to specialize entirely on walking sticks. Since it opened in 1882, the methods of creating their cool canes have stayed the same for all these years. For centuries, the cane has been a must-have accessory for every gentleman until it gradually started to vanish from the world of fashion. At Ginza Takagen, the tradition of designer canes and stylish sticks is very much alive and well.

The shop regularly surprises visitors with its amazing selection of sticks – from traditional and elegant to modern and playful, no matter who you are and what your style is, Takagen is sure to have a matching cane for you! Materials such as oak, bamboo, and maple give the walking sticks very distinct appearances and just walking along the massive selection is a unique experience. Every single one is hand-crafted, a true masterpiece born from decades of experience and tradition. Now, we’re not saying that canes will make a big fashion comeback. However, the majority of people find their legs or feet injured at some point in their life – and while we don’t wish that upon anyone, if you have to use a cane, why shouldn’t it be a fancy one?
