If there is any city on Earth where you will never run out of fascinating things to do and places to see, Tokyo is probably it. The capital and largest city in Japan is a delight for tourists who never get bored.

Tokyo has a nice bookstore scene, and if you’ve ever wanted to experience the unique culture of Japanese bookstores, Tokyo offers several unique places to visit. Here are some of the highlights.

Tsutaya Ginza Book Store

Commonly known as the best art bookstore in the world, Tsutaya Ginza is located in the luxury Ginza 6 shopping mall and has an unmistakable look that you’ll never forget. Temporary art exhibitions are usually on display here too, making it the ultimate destination for art book lovers.

B&B (Book & Beer)

We can’t think of many better combinations than books and beer, and Tokyo’s B&B in the Setagaya City neighborhood brings this pairing to life. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of books in the Japanese language along with a bar in the corner where you can sample a selection of rotating brews.

Kitazawa Bookstore

Kitazawa is one of Tokyo’s best second-hand bookshops. English language literature is on display here in a jammed shop which is both cozy and economical. Hop off at Jimbocho Station on the Z, S, or I lines and take a gander at the unbeatable selection here.

Tokyo, Japan is a treat for the senses, with colors, smells, and sounds exploding and even overwhelming those of us who have the fortune of visiting this capital city. While art isn’t Tokyo’s main calling card, with a little bit of research, you will be able to discover all kinds of opportunities to see unique works here.

Public art is one of Tokyo’s specialties and is a perfect opportunity for normal people to observe beauty in an everyday setting. Here are the top three works that you should check out in Tokyo.

The Myth of Tomorrow

The Myth of Tomorrow is a stunning art piece located in Tokyo’s Shibuya Station, a commonly-visited train terminal. This mural by one of the country’s most famous artists, Taro Okamoto, depicts the aftermath of the atomic bomb that exploded over Hiroshima during World War II

Kodomo no Ki 

Okamoto strikes again with Kodomo no Ki, or the “Tree of Children,” an avant-garde statue located outside of the National Children’s Castle. This work of art evokes the happiness of being a child and will be sure to lift and brighten your day.

Maman

The Roppongi Hills area of Tokyo is the host of one of six bronze castings of the “Maman” spider statue done by French artist Louise Bourgeois. At over 30 feet tall, this statue isn’t for those with arachnophobia!
