Shibuya Booksellers
When entering Shibuya Booksellers at night, the bright white glow may temporarily render you blind. Wait for your eyes to readjust before attempting any purchases.

Is Shibuya Booksellers Tokyo’s hottest new bar? For lovers of art, culture and design, this is suddenly the place to meet like-minded people who have decamped from the club scene.

Open until midnight every night, Shibuya Booksellers organizes its impressive range of English and Japanese language books by decade. There are books on Helmut Newton, BAPE, vintage furniture from the 1940s, architect Tadao Ando, photographer Terry Richardson and even Kylie Minogue.

An impressive selection of domestic and international magazines, frequently changing art installations, designer scents from Comme des Garçons and the latest compilation CDs to buy make Shibuya Booksellers the one-stop shop for international hipster goods. 

They accept:
American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Cash
