Kinokuniya Bookstore

Fodor's Review:

The selection of English-language books about Japanese culture -- everything from medieval history to origami instructions -- is one of the finest in the country. Kinokuniya is the city's biggest seller of Japanese-language books. Dozens of glossy Asian fashion magazines attract the young and trendy, and books and DVDs related to the Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki are the latest trend.
