Shimojima Decorating and Packaging Store is the go-to chain store for handicraft makers, gift givers, and party planners. Shimojima has 30+ branches in the Kanto area where families can go and buy all their decorating items for the holidays and parties. The 8-floor flagship store in Asakusabashi on the Ginza subway line is packed full of boxes, bags, wrapping paper, ribbons, glue and decorating tools.
Shimojima Decorating and Packaging Store – Japanese Paper,
Boxes, 
Tape, Ribbons and More
If you like having big birthday and holiday parties or plan events for schools, Shimojima offers the best values on balloons, paper products, signs, and goodie bag gifts. Go straight to Shimojima if you like value. Shimojima is a true packaging paradise; it is not a craft store with great paints and fine art items. We still love Sekaido and Umematsu for fine art items, Diaso for 100 yen basic craft items, and Yuzawaya & Toa for fabrics and yarns. Shimojima has over30 stores in Japan; most are branded Shimojima although they have some subbrands as well such as Pro Packaging and Wapple (boutique shop outside the Tokyu hands Shibuya). You can find all the Shimojima Decorating and Packaging Store locations in English here.

Do you have 12 hole cup cake boxes
Hello Shaznin, You will need to visit the store or their website to determine that. I do know they have boxes that hold four and six, not sure about 12.
