    Love this place. Manga in both English and Japanese, beautiful stationary, and Japanese language self-study books 😍

    Great place to check out if you're looking for those hard-to-find Japanese import CDs and DVDs, magazines, and authentic manga. Be wary, though. The imports cost twice as much here than in Japan.

    Kinokuniya book store has awesome Japanese stationaries and pens. It's a bit on the pricer side however it's still worth it. =)

    Even on a weekend it's far less crowded than the one in San Francisco.

    Good selection of Japanese books at a premium price. Only if you're desperate --- otherwise have friends or family buy and send them over from Japan.
