Kinokuniya

The mammoth flagship outlet of Japanese bookstore-chain, Books Kinokuniya, is usually the first that comes to mind for reading materials—especially with Borders’ absence—and it’s obvious why. Impressively stocked with over 500,000 titles in various languages, as well as magazines, stationery and knick-knacks, you’ll find almost any book imaginable on your wishlist. And if not, there’s an online book-order service, where you can also place orders for unavailable or unreleased titles for free.
