One tip: if there's a title you like check the prices on ALL copies. One book I initially set down…read morebecause the paperback was $20, but checked the hardcover out of curiosity and found it was used (didn't look it) and only cost $13! So you never know. If you're a book lover plan to spend a whole day here, or at least half. The place is obviously massive, but surprisingly well organized and mapped; there are lots of signs making it easy to find what you are looking for. Easily our favorite was the gold room which contained mystery, horror, comics and manga, as well as romance. There are computers around where you can search for specific titles, and staff is helpful with recommendations as well. In terms of the pricing, there are excellent used books. I got a copy that I would have sworn was brand new for $10 off the listed price.

Date of visit: May 11, 2026…read more This place is often listed as one of the best bookstores in the country, if not the world, and I could see why after traversing its many floors and aisles! An emporium of both new and used books (always make sure you check the price sticker on the back before purchasing in case you really need a new version of a book), there is a little bit of everything here. In addition to books, this is a great stop for souvenirs including pins, local snacks, lines, and mugs. If you're short on time, you can kill two birds with one stone here at Powell's. If you're not short on time, seek out a pass for the Rare Book Room and scope out the treasures on display there. Like everywhere else in Portland, bathrooms do have a code, so seek out an employee before looking to use the facilities.

This Kinokuniya is the best option for Japanese stationary products in greater Portland. There's…read moreanother much smaller one embedded in the Uwajimaya Asian Market in Beaverton. My Son led me here last weekend when I was in town. There was lots of notebooks, pens, and other stuff to consider, and having a Kinokuniya membership (10% off) was a bonus. David was more interested in the manga books, and we were happy browsing in our own little corners. We both happily came away with a small collection of treasures and a promise to return. There were lots of folks here, making the aisles a little tight. But checkout moved quickly and efficiently.

Kinokuniya is such a cool bookstore and honestly the perfect place for me. I was able to find manga…read morebooks my partner had been looking for to complete his collection, which made the trip totally worth it. They have an amazing selection, especially if you're into manga, Japanese stationery, and unique books you don't always see elsewhere. The store itself is fun to walk through and browse -- even if you're not looking for something specific, you'll probably leave with something. Everything is well-organized, and it's just a really enjoyable space to spend time in. Great spot for gifts, collectors, or anyone who loves books and wants something a little different. Definitely recommend checking it out.
