Yaguchi Book Store is not your typical bookstore. Founded in 1918, this partially open-air gem offers a unique experience for book lovers.

The Yaguchi Bookstore in Jimbocho, Tokyo. Founded in 1918. Jimbocho, also known as Book Town, has as many as 130 bookstores and millions of books and artworks.

With vintage posters and pamphlets, it feels like stepping into a treasure trove of film history. Soak up the atmosphere and go on a book hunting adventure if you're a book lover like me! I love strolling around this area, stop for a relaxed coffee and pastry while browsing books for hours. ☺️
