Awesome store.

Such a wonderful place! They have adorable cards and an impressive range of paper for all your needs from wrapping paper, origami, and more. (Unfortunately you will not find toilet paper here) 😂😂

I had been searching for a Japanese screw punch to use for bookbinding and am so happy with the one I received from Paper Tree. It works so well and I can see it lasting for many years. My order also included paper, which arrived in perfect condition! The care they put into packaging their orders is incredible.

A hidden gem in Japan Town. As most other reviews mention, this is a one-stop shop for all your origami needs. It also works as a really good shop for buying gifts for friends. There are so many traditional japanese things here like Miku paper and so on.If you need any help, the shopkeepers are really good at helping and understanding what you need.Bonus: They have lot of origami artwork in display, no pictures allowed so keep phones in pocket but they are beautiful to look at and wonder.There are also classes that are head where they invite world famous origami artists. Make sure you talk to them about that.

Lots of cool stuff here besides origami, like various stuffed animals and Ghibli-themed items. Some amazing examples of origami as well, like the attached dragon. Very friendly service.

Its a nice small shop full of good quality papers, perfect for origamis. I was really impressed by the dragon. You can also find a good collection of funny Japanese goodies.

Nice people

A stupendous little place that sells everything you need for your Origami addiction: papers, books, and washi. they even have several astonishing pieces on display - most notably a dragon and a set of masks that are all folds and no cuts.

Lovely store with helpful staff. Even if you’re not into origami, a great place to check out if you love paper.

Fantastic staff, amazing fine paper goods. They have a very good selection of highest quality washi paper, as well as gift cards from local artisans, stationary, and assorted small gifts.

Thank you Paper Tree for offering to mail us paper for all our happy origami folding activities!Our order was placed on Tuesday night. It was shipped the following morning and arrived this afternoon in a USPS Priority cardboard mailer. My son held his breath as he opened the box, then breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw the stacks of papers were carefully wrapped in packing paper and bubble wrap. Everything remained flat and no corners were bent - a true testament to the care you put into ensuring your products arrive in perfect condition.We always visit your store when we visit San Francisco. We cannot wait to return to see you all again.Be safe, stay healthy.

The origami mini museum is sufficient reason for a visit. Wonderful local store with origami papers, classes, art supplies, and other Japanese goodies. Great for the enthusiast, expert, or for gift shopping.

The people here are really nice and they have all the paper you could ever want and the origami they have displayed is super cool and inspiring. Lots of cute cards and stuff too

Cute little shop!

Wonderful shop! Many papers for origami folders or any paper artist. Good collection of books. A beautiful display of origami art, including a rare work of Eric Joisel. All in all, a must see place for paper lovers!

I loved this store. The owners are so friendly and nice. I love paper and they have really beautiful papers here. I went to three stores for small paper packs and I found my favorite one here. The store is wheelchair accessible too.

Awesome place... There are origami creations that will totally blow your mind, including the dragon that was made from a 6x6 sheet of paper without ANY cuts!!

The staff and the owner of the store very friendly and they keep an incredible amount of very high quality near art work printed papers and lots of other very unique pieces of artwork origami books lamps and other things in this small store. I dont know of any other place its really quite like this. I understand that they have a sister store in San Francisco Japantown but Ive never visited Ive always gone to the one in Berkeley.

If you want to learn origami, this is a great place to with books and lessons on how to do it.

Wonderful family owned shop, the owners and staff were so friendly and energetic. Lovely selection of paper craft and adorable Japanese gifts and toys. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Really love this place!

Wonderful store for things paper from Japan.

Lots of cute paper animals but the items are marked up quite a bit.

Has Japanese greeting cards, gift paper, etc. Suggest you either call or visit.

Very cool. Definitely check out the origami display

This is the #1 place in San Francisco Bay Area for origami. Wide selection of books. Professional origami models on exhibit. The staff is highly knowledgeable and experienced, and also friendly and helpful.

Everything you could possibly want as an artist and not overpriced.

Paper art that moves me to the core! Best cards in the world, I am not using anything else for the rest of my life.

If you love paper then this store is a must. It was hard to leave....

Best place to purchase Origami paper. Best selection and prices. Great advice from owner who is a master Origami instructor.

Family-run paper store. Everything you need for origami or any paper project. Great selection of Japanese paper. Linda and Vicky Mihara are well known Origami teachers and artists. Their parents are there at the store daily. Linda and Vickys grandfather wrote the first english origami book in the 1950s. Worth a visit.

Lovely products and good customer service, as someone who has look at these same products in other stores I can say that some of the things they sell feel a little overpriced, nothing ridiculous, and it might just be a result of shopping between different states, regardless of that, it did not harm my experience enough to stop me from buying a lot in my visit.

One of the most inviting stores Ive ever been in. It made me want to buy everything there even though Ive never been a huge origami fan.

Love that Hector guy and the other wonderful staff! Great shop!!

Amazing place. Lots if paper. Into origami, this is your store!

Unusual store. The inventory consists mainly of exquisitely beautiful handmade Japanese paper.

Best place I have ever seen for Origami supplies. Very friendly staff.

Impressive

Full disclosure: My dad and I make homemade cards sold at Paper Tree.Paper Tree has the most extensive inventory of origami papers and books I have seen outside Japan. It is a must-see place for anyone enjoys origami or wants to get started. The store gallery of origami works by world-class designers and folders is impressive.I believe I first visited the store nearly thirty years ago...when it was already twenty years old. It is a Japantown institution, one of three remaining Japanese family-run businesses, and they are very active in both the local Japantown community and the worldwide origami community.Beyond just origami, they carry a large selection of Japanese washi paper, other craft supplies/books, gifts, and office supplies. For some reason they also have a lot of Totoro items.

Beautiful handmade paper items.

Do you love origami? Do you love washi (Japanese paper)? Then youll dig this spot. This unassuming little shop in the cobblestone plaza area of J-Town has the best assortment of origami Ive ever encountered. Even origami squares that are one inch across for that special gnome origami affecionado in your life.They also sell other gift-y items like those kawaii Japanese erasers and other Japanese omiyage (gifts). I bought a childrens book on the kappa - a mythical water-dwelling beast that has been rumored to lure children to their watery grave. But of course in true Japanese illustration, it is very cute and smiley.Hey, even if you dont have enough spatial skills to fold a paper airplane, you should still check out this shop. They currently have an origami exhibit that will amaze you. Dragons, creatures and the like come to life out of a flat piece of paper.Also my aunt sells her beautiful handmade cards here. Check out Donna Ueda Creations - they are truly one of a kind creations!

Came in to get legitimate origami paper.I despise improperly sized origami paper as it ruins the craft from the beginning.Their designs range goes from solid matte colors to minimal patterns with gold butterflies. Cant say that I could find anything similar to Paper Tree in the East Bay.

Really beautiful stuff in here.

Absolutely wonderful family run store.
