Stopped in while awaiting my table at Kura next door. This place is filled with a wide variety of books and tchotchkes. There is also an area that contains near soaps and candies that are in the shape of food. I found myself drawn to an origami style incense holder. If you have time stop in for a visit.

My fingers in the way. RIP. Lots of art supplies!! Copic markers and koi water colors!

They have a BL SECTION! :D Get ur gey on gurlll~ So many cute (expensive ;;) stationery sets and really badazz collection of art books (anime/video games) I found a Super Sonico Fanworks Art Book! NOICE. Also, Nier Automata, Devil May Cry 5 and Final Fantasy 14 art books. They have some figurines and one time had super small collection of Final Fantasy items(super duper smoll) THEY HAVE THE BIGGEST COLLECTION OF My Neighbor TOTORO SHIET. I can def. see this place as a great shop to buy gifts for your weeabo friends and fams. :) There's also books for studying Japanese language and another station to build custom traveling journal. Great place to check out and kill time on your itinerary!!

This is such a germ Japanese book store. I was planning to buy some note books and pens but I spent almost 2 hrs in the store . They have very cute stuffs. Prices are decent to me if they are imported from Japan, I wouldn't expect them to be cheap. They have books and comics in Japanese, you heard it right, Japanese. Wish I could understand a word However, I enjoyed the pen/pencils and notebooks sections.

This authentic Japanese bookstore is between a (nearly finished) revolving sushi bar and an ice cream/taiyaki place, this generation of weebs don't know how good they have it. Back in my day, we huddled together in the manga aisle at Barnes and Noble and nourished ourselves on Dasani and a single espresso brownie for over six hours. I am shook and only slightly concerned about the amount of money I spent, but it was like reliving the best parts of middle school except now, I CAN buy all the things.

Kinokuniya is a Japanese bookstore that sells more than just books. They have Japanese imported goods that include Studio Ghilbi puzzles, My Neighbor Totoro plushies, San-X goods, misc home goods, and stationary items. For my visit I purchased a San-X Sumiko Gurashi coloring book to work on in my spare time. It was pricier than your average coloring book, but I couldn't resist how cute it was. I would definitely come back in the future as they add new merchandise.

See all
