"PAPERSKY" is a travel lifestyle magazine from Japan that travels the world with the concept of being an "in-flight magazine you can read on the ground." With a focus on people and the places they inhabit, the magazine introduces the nature, culture, and lifestyles of various countries and towns, as well as the beauty of Japan seen from both "inside" and "outside," while sharing stories that enrich the journey.

We were also involved in assisting with the ride during the Nagoya event of "Tour de NIPPON," a project born from the magazine that aims to rediscover the charms of Japan by proposing a "new 'journey/tour' = a catalyst" where you explore local areas by bicycle, engaging with the local climate, culture, and nature.

We have decided to hold a PAPERSKY POPUP SHOP at Circles, featuring a curated selection of travel-themed items proposed by the team at PAPERSKY!
・PAPERSKY POPUP SHOP
Dates: Friday, August 5th – Sunday, August 14th
Location: At Circles 1F
Selected based on the keyword of "travel," these items are perfect not only for cycling trips but also for various outdoor activities and daily use. You can also pick up the latest issue that was just released, as well as items that will only be available at our store during this period.
We will also be holding an exhibition and pre-order event for items from RawLow Mountain Works—the brand that crafts the "Bike 'n Hike Bag," created from the unique perspective of combining a saddlebag and a backpack, at their own factory in Tokyo.
Also, although this is a last-minute announcement, we will be hosting a talk show on the night of the first day, Friday, August 5th, at Hedgehog Diner—a staple of Friday nights at Circles—inviting Lucas B.B., editor-in-chief of PAPERSKY, and Ryotaro Taniguchi of RawLow Mountain Works.
・"BIKE & TRAVEL NIGHT" ~The bicycle is the ultimate travel partner~
Date & Time: Friday, August 5th, from 19:30
Location: Hedgehog Diner
Admission: 1,000 JPY (Includes 1 drink and the latest issue of PAPERSKY as a gift)
Editor-in-chief Lucas will be sharing his thoughts on how to enjoy the bicycle as a travel tool, as well as tips for anyone looking to easily start their own cycling adventures, all while showing slides. It will be a packed event where you can also hear stories from the Tour de Nippon. We hope you will invite your friends and join us this Friday night!
