The store was fabulous my niece and I went there for christmas shopping she loved mangas and they had thousands of mangas my niece was so happy I personally liked the cookbooks there were so many.

When I went to Japan last year, I was surprised at first to see people in stores being able to read books without the obligation of buying. One of my favorite places to go browse was in Kinokuniya, though I almost always made sure to buy something.

Almost like being in Nihon, loads of people perusing the magazines for awhile and a very good selection; albeit some of the arts magazine choices are not as wide as the one in NYC...Then again, if you see an issue to your liking, get it straight away as they sell out fast!
Service is lovely and they are sweet enough to put up notes of the next shipment date and when things will possibly be in store.
This is my second home!!!!

I feel in love with this bookstore the very first time that I walked into it! Everything about it is just amazing! =)
Whether you are a fan of manga, anime, music, or just anything that has to do with Japan you will love this store! Every time I go to San Francisco it is one of my first destinations! You do not wanna miss this place!
