This is one of the best mega bookstore in Japan. There are several good bookstores around Osaka station, like Kunokuniya, Tsutaya, Maruzen-Junkudo, but this is outstanding. Books are laid out properly and well organized. I also love relaxed mood of this store. 大阪駅近辺の書店の中では群を抜いたレイアウトと雰囲気の良さが魅力。

My favorite bookshop so far. They have a good collection of English books and what’s nice they also have a café inside, which non-smoking so no need to go very far after selecting your book. Staff are also very helpful, when I was looking for a certain book and they did not have it, they can get it for me, though it might take a little while and will call me directly when they got it. They won my vote for that, for making the effort.
