Kinokuniya review by Mel K

Kinokuniya is my favourite bookstore as it has a huge selection and, in particular, has a great crime section with most of the classic crime novelists that you can't find elsewhere.  There's also an excellent selection of children's books.  The whole store is very well laid-out, so it is easy to find things, and they have an easy to use computer if you are looking for more specialized non-fiction books.  They also have a range of Japanese stationery & gifts, a really big Japanese & other Asian languages section, and a cafe.  BTW:  the Japanese cafe on the same floor (Ichiban Boshi) is delicious - good to stop by for a noodle soup before or after browsing in Kinokuniya.
