神田古書センター

The Takayama main store on the first floor is where you can find what you are looking for. There is something to say.

There are all kinds of old books on each floor I want to search slowly when I have time

It's a landmark of Jimbocho, and there are various bookstores, so it's fun just to look around. Especially the curry on the 2nd floor was delicious. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are quite lined up

It's a multi-tenant building that houses old bookstores in various fields. It seems that there are up to the 5th floor. The European-style curry shop on the 2nd floor is the place you want to go next time. ?

Kanda's second-hand bookstore district boasts the largest scale in the world. If you go to the ground on the subway "Jinbocho", you will reach the intersection of Hakusan-dori and Yasukuni-dori. (Photo) The second-hand bookstore district is divided into the Yasukuni Shrine side and the Ogawa-cho side at this intersection. It seems that the second-hand bookstore district was formed in this area after the Meiji era. In the Edo period, this Surugadai was a place where only daimyo residences were located, but because the daimyo returned to the country due to the Meiji Restoration, it became only vacant lots. Educational institutions such as schools have begun to gather in the vacant lot. When the school opens. There will be a store for students. Meal shops, bookstores, etc. The number of second-hand bookstores gradually increased under Surugadai, forming a large second-hand bookstore district. Another major factor seems to be the expansion of Yasukuni Dori and the construction of the Toden to make it more convenient. It is a famous old book center. (Photo) The Takayama main store on the first floor is a long-established second-hand bookstore. Founded in 1875 (Meiji 8), the current owner is the 5th generation, so it's amazing. Noh books, Noh masks, and Utai books related to traditional culture We have up to. Also, the martial arts books seemed to be quite substantial. On the top floor, there is a record shop that I have hardly seen recently. Go up to the Nakano bookstore on the second floor. There were no modern anime, and there were out-of-print comic books. There are three out-of-print books, "Robot Third Class Soldier," for 1,500 yen, and I tried to buy them on my way home, but I forgot when I returned. I was taken care of by the adult-related Haga bookstore on the 8th floor (laughs)

There are many old bookstores. There is also a delicious curry shop, which is a perfect place for book lovers. You can also have the previous year's version of Shonen Jump and the original work by Sazae-san.
