Looking for a Japanese book and can't find it here? Don't fret! You can just order with them and pick it up a week or two later. Definitely cheaper than ordering with Amazon Japan!

weaboo town 1st floor, diverse selection found nowhere else on 2nd floor. great place to explore asian authors & particularly modern asian authors; that's hard to find even in a public library .

Alessandro Mingione

They not just have a myriad of japanese magazines , but they sell kendama, and the comic bookstore downstairs has a vast selection of Katsuya Terada's books

Coming here always brings back to me great times being otaku. Aside from anime manga stuff they sell a lot of other interesting books . Check out art books on the second floor

Authentic Japanese book store . You can spend your time as long as youd like.

Wide selection of Japanese books , new and paperback (but seemingly less selection of late). The downstairs manga collection is impressive.

Great place if you're looking for manga . The whole bottom floor is manga books , half of the store is english and the other half is japanese.

The bookstore may be the main draw, but don't miss the rest of the mini-mall packed into this nondescript Japantown building - cool stores and excellent dining options!
