I love the 3 train heads, so authentic and memorable :)

Yes! I was very wowed by the train heads and initially thought it’s some exhibits. Haha

when did you go? only one person in the cafe😂

Last friday morning. Think it will get crowded with students in the afternoon.

JP students don't like to go to cafe?
HK students always occupy all the seats of to study😂

Too many cafes around Tokyo. So lots of options!

Passed by sometime at late morning on last Friday after visiting the nearby Jukudo bookstore. That lady is certainly enjoying her peaceful time!

yes occupied the whole cafe~ very peaceful time🤣

I love stationery stores like this 😍 I find myself looking at everything and end up spending way too much time in them.

Me too! I can spend hours in them! There is another big stationery shop- Itoya at Ginza, which is popular too.

Thanks I’ll keep these in mind when I get the chance to travel back to Japan

I wonder if they have free wifi in that bookstore?

Ops, not too sure about that...

I think that @jrvacation may like bookstores more than Japanese people

Hahaha... yes I love to browse through fashion magazines in Japanese bookstores. Recently, started browsing to buy some Japanese study books which are much cheaper than in Singapore. :)

Really? Is it cheaper than Singapore?

My favorite bookstore is the Kinokuniya book shop in Shinjuku, but Maruzen might be better at fashion field.

I think I will go Kinokuniya in Shinjuku next time as they offer tax free services. Haha

Yes! This one is very eye catching! The train looks funny! I thought it was restaurant when I came across! It is cafe! Thanks for your recommendations! I will go there for cup of coffee❤️❤️❤️

You are welcomed! Share with me your experience! :)

Such a neat, clean looking cafe! Wish there were more photos of the actual bookshelves so I could know if it's anything near to Tsutaya in Daikanyama.

This is a stationery shop so they do not sell books. But the nearby Junkudo bookstore is a huge building - 8 levels of books!
