Internet bookstores are booming these days, but once a week we look at bookstores. Today we go to Ginza Kyobunkan. It's one of my favorite bookstores.
Kyobunkan is a publisher and bookstore of Christianity-related books founded in 1885. The current building is a building with an atmosphere in Ginza, which has a classic feeling that was designed by Antonin Raymond in 1933.
First, find a hot spring guide to travel at the magazine section on the 1st floor, and then go to the Japanese book section on the 2nd floor. Next to the new book, the "Now is Kuniko Mukoda" fair is being held. (Thirty years after his death) There is also a corner on the theme of seasonal current affairs, and I feel again that the bookstore is a space that shows the "condensed present (now)". It's one of the things you don't have in online bookstores. It's fun to look around the bookstore's shelf, so time has passed before I notice it. My legs and eyes are tired and I want to take a break. This cafe is perfect for such a break. To the counter seat by the window overlooking Ginza Street. Blend (480 yen) and cake (240 yen). While wrapped in the scent of coffee (the coffee here is ground after listening to the order) It is a time of blissful relaxation that you can see without reading the book you bought, turning around Ginza Street or seeing cars.
Considering the good location, it's strange that I've never met full. Coffee is delicious and the price is very conscientious in terms of location, and the clerk is calm and the atmosphere is good. It's a secret place.
It is recommended not only for reading the book you bought, but also for small meetings and meetings. (I don't want it to be too crowded, so I don't want it to be too famous.)
