JIMBOCHO Walk✨WOODBLOCK Prints, BOOK Shops, SHOWA Retro, WASHI Paper + Haul! SHOPPING in JAPAN🇯🇵

Today we’re in Kanda Jimbocho, known mainly for its multitude of bookstores. Head there if you’re looking for woodblock prints and vintage books. Will also be popping into Moto Tsuruya Yofukuten which is a tiny shop full of miscellaneous goods from the mid to late Showa period. There’s anywhere from 150-180 second-hand bookshops in the area as well as many cafes and curry restaurants, so may pop back to make a second episode😊 Btw if you notice my nail polish colour changing, it’s because the video’s compiled of 3 separate visits😂 Estimated prices in USD($) are from the exchange rate as at April 2024. Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoy the content🥰 ************************************************************************************************************* *📍Jimbocho Area* 神保町付近 Nearest station: Jimbocho (Mita Line, Shinjuku Line & Hanzomon Line) ************************************************************************************************************* *Featured Shops* (info as at April 2024) Note: Shops usually closed on Sundays & public holidays may be open during festivals or special exhibitions. *📚Yamada Shoten 山田書店* Open: Mon-Sat 10:30am-6:30pm (Closed Sun & public holidays) *📚Isseido 一成堂* Open: Mon-Sat 10am-6:30pm (Closed Sun & public holidays) *🛍Moto Tsuruya Yofukuten (Former Tailor Tsuruya) 元鶴屋洋服店* Open: Fri, Sat, Sun & public holidays 2pm-6pm (Closed Mon-Thurs) *📚Bohemian’s Guild ボヘミアンズギルド* Open: Mon-Sun 12-6pm *📝Bumpodo 文法堂* Open: Mon-Sun 10am-6:30pm *📚Ohya Shobo 大屋書房* Open: Mon-Sat 11am-6pm (Closed Sun & public holidays) *📚Hara Shobo 原書房* Open: Tues-Sat 11am-6pm (Closed Mon, Sun & public holidays) *🎥Vintage ビンテージ* Open: Mon-Fri 11am-6:30pm / Sat 11am-6pm / Sun 12-6pm *📚Kitazawa Book Store 北沢書店* Open: Mon-Fri 11am-6:30pm / Sat 12-5:30pm (Closed Sun & public holidays) *💌Yamagataya Kamiten 山形屋紙店* Open: Mon-Fri 11am-5pm (Closed Sat, Sun & public holidays) ************************************************************************************************************************ *About me:* Hi!
