Days at the Morisaki Bookshop was such a beautiful novel...it introduced me to places I'd never imagined.
Found this place in a book I'm currently reading days at the Morisaki Bookshop❤
I found the name of this place in a book. This is a Japanese book. And translate it into Bengali language. The book is written by Japanese author Satisha Yagisawa, the book is called Morisky Bookhouse Days. And then I did some research and found that the place actually exists and the place is as beautiful as the book...
days at the morisaki bookshop ** ❤
got the english translation this year at Kolkata bookfair, such a comfort read
Same here...😄
I read that book too... but in Spanish and I loved it. That's why I'm here "walking" between these second hand libraries.
Omg ,same here❤
مكان جميل جدا ورائع اتمنى زيارته بصفتي عاشق للكتب والمكتبات والقراءة رغم اني لااجيد اليابانية لكن وجود هذه الكتب والمكتبات الرائعة وهذه المنطقة الساحرة يجعل من زيارتها وزيارة اليابان عموما واللتي احلم بزيارتها منذ الطفولة تحياتي من المملكة العربية السعودية
I just realized something: I’ve never actually seen Japan outside of movies and such which only show a small bit of what it is. Personally I really enjoyed this video because I got to see a little bit of the street life the way it actually is and to be honest I loved it way more than how it’s shown in media.
Loved it! Thank you!
I came here to know how jimbocho looks like...how it's old book Store looks like...I read it about in the novel The Morisaki bookshops.....and yeh it's lovely...
The station's walls look like a bookshelf 😍 That fits perfectly to 3:45. Such a gorgeous looking book store, and you've actually walked past it twice! 😆
Hahaha, yeah, you're right...! Hope I can visit the gorgeous bookstore next time I visit, it was a pity I couldn't drop by...!
@@japan_travel There's always another day 😁 And bookstores should be visited with enough time too!
A nightmare! A browse of books shops selling books in a language I can't read. 😢
🤣
Wonderful filming my friend! Jimbocho is amazing :) Thank you the interesting and cool Tokyo experience! L7 🙏🇯🇵❤️📚🏙👍
thank you! i love japan and jimbocho but haven't been able to go due to the pandemic. so it was lovely to see it again :))
Looks like an area for me! I need to study more Japanese!
Is there much in English? Like a section in some stores or special stores? If so I might need another suitcase. Anywhere anyone would recommend to find puzzle books or magazines? Not ordinary sudoku but all the variations? I bought a nice Japanese magazine in a Japanese bookstore in NYC once and never found another.
There are several stores in Jimbocho that specialize in English books or have sections with a good selection of them. In particular, Kitazawa Bookstore and Ogawa Books have a wide variety of English-language antique and foreign books, all in a classic, cozy atmosphere. Isshindo Bookstore is also well-known for its focus on English and foreign literature. For puzzle books or magazines, you might want to check out magnif, which offers a large collection of vintage magazines, and you might just find the kind of puzzle book you're looking for.

I'm not sure how much you'll end up buying, so it’s hard to say if you'll need an extra suitcase. You can also purchase things directly at stores like AEON （イーオン）or Don Quijote（ドン・キホーテ）, or order from Japan’s Amazon and have it delivered to your hotel. Depending on your needs, buying locally might be convenient. I’ve included more details about the bookstores and their websites in the video description, so feel free to check them out!
