No complaints. Staff is friendly, always ready to help, and offer to order items if they're not in stock. Selection is also varied, both in English and Japanese. Very cute items as well! One of my favorite places
Kinokuniya is a Japanese bookstore filled with Manga and anime books and figurines mainly but it also has an assorted collection of other books ranging from travel to cookbooks to contemporary literature. There is also a large collection of Japanese stationary. Various pens, pencils, erasers, office supplies, cards, notebooks and such knickknacks.nFor a cultural experience it's interesting however what cut it for me were the prices. I typically like to buy small things like pens and pencils and erasers to remember the place but this place was astronomically high in prices. If the items were worth that amount I'd agree but for a mere pen or pencil to be so expensive. The aisles are very narrow leaving customers to navigate the social distancing which was hard. It seemed like an extension of the Mitsuwa Marketplace. The entrance from inside the market is closed off. You have to enter from the external rear entrance through a slat of plastic curtains (I actually found this part fun.) I was much more interested to discover the Marketplace but next time.
Amazing store with a great selection, however the staff, was rude. The man sitting at the door clearly did not want to be there, and was extremely off putting. The person at checkout offered everyone but myself a chance to become a member and save 10%... not sure why that was but I actually was going to join, but was never given the chance. While the store itself is pretty amazing, the staff could use a course customer service because it was pretty awful.
I absolutely fell in love with this store! They have a great collection of manga in English, Japanese manga, cute goodies, and stationary! I'd highly recommend and would certainly visit again!
Amazing selection and I love that most of the books are plastic wrapped. I hate trying to find a book someone hasn’t creased or destroyed the spine of. Fair pricing and great quality. It was very much worth the drive.
