This book store is great, they have Japanese and JLPT books. They also have books in English and lots of cute stationary. The bookstore is 9 floors. They have manga too. The women’s bathroom is on the 6th floor and the men’s bathroom is on the 5th floor. They have escalators so you don’t have to go up stairs. The space is quite small on each floor so be careful when you walk around.

Huge book shop. With nine floors full of books. Good place to go if you want Manga books. There is a small selection of English books. Staff were very helpful in directing me to the correct floor and helping me find the books I required. The prices were good. Although there are tills on all floors, you pay on the ground floor.

Interesting, but not a great place for English manga (that said, I didn't find a better one). Selection of English manga was small and prices were higher than in North America (whereas Japanese manga was much cheaper). Interesting selection of Japanese train collectibles and models though.

Great bookstore with organized floors by kind/type. Staff are helpful and the most important thing is there is an open sample of the book/magazine you might be interested in before buying. Useful for none Japanese speaking folks. Helps with the decision to buy or not.

I went to Akihabara branch Shosen book tower to buy Japanese JLPT books. They have all kind of books like Minna no Nihongo, so matome, Kanji, vocabulary etc.. It is a 8 story building, they mostly sell all kind of books. But very few English manga books.
