Our colorful Japanese picture books are popular even among guests who do not understand Japanese, and we've noticed customers from overseas buying them as souvenirs.
In an age where we can buy anything online, time to choose a book with your own two hands, at a picture book themed cafe, will create nice memories. In two of our private rooms, we always hold an exhibition of original picture book paintings. And to make it enjoyable for many of our guests, we hold events and workshops on a daily basis. It is a unique store proactively conveying Jimbocho culture through exhibitions and lectures held in a large gallery on the second floor. We hope you will stop by at the Book House Cafe when you make it to Jimbocho, the city of books.
