Books Kinokuniya Kawagoe store

Nostalgic vibes

When I first arrived to Japan, Kinokuniya was probably the most famous book store chain. And in my experience, back then, it was usually a notch above the rest. Things have changed a lot since then, but I still have a soft spot for Kinokuniya, so sometimes I go out of my way to visit this branch to browse the books. It has an old style set up, reminiscent of a library. Its a popular spot which adds to the ambience.
