"A short walk from Daikanyama Station is one of the metropolis's iconic bookstores, Tsutaya at T-Site. Designed by Klein Dytham Architecture, the Tsutaya bookstore is celebrated not only for the beauty of its three buildings but also for the extensive selection of books, magazines, CDs, and DVDs. Tsutaya opens at 7 a.m., perfect for travelers who land before hotel check-in. You can have a coffee or a cocktail in the Anjin Lounge while perusing books.

Amazing & extensive 2-story Japanese hipster bookstore with a Starbucks and lots of quiet study or reading areas. Great selection of local gifts. A highlight of a modern building in the trendy Daikanyama neighborhood.

One of the best places to do work in Tokyo. Get here early if you want a free seat downstairs in the first building (the one w a Starbucks). If you want to pay for the share lounge upstairs it’s also pretty reasonable and my favorite plays to do work (but available for taking calls as well as designated quiet spaces). Tons of spaces and plenty of outlets. You also get free access to snacks and soft drinks with your admission. For a small additional charge you can also have free / unlimited beer or wine. Highly recommend this place if you’re a remote worker or in need of a place to hold a meeting.

Beautiful interior design. Large collection of books and pens. Shared lounge space is just upstairs, and there is coffee and pastries next door.

Great place to enjoy your slow day. The food is great too. You can find a lot of things there but the english section is not big. The parfume section is great.

A must-visit place in Tokyo whether you like books or not. This huge complex has it all: bookstore, cafes, restaurants, small art gallery, and a fancy Family Mart. A diverse range of books, with a great selection of English books. A really accessible site, suitable for a visit with friends or family. No wonder it is voted as one of the best bookstores in the world.

One of the most beautiful bookstores in Tokyo is conveniently located and surrounded by green trees and cozy restaurants. It's a trendy place where artists and various brands display their art or products. There's a good choice of English books and magazines, and you can also enjoy Starbucks coffee here. I wish the working hours would go back to normal; they used to be open until 2 am, but now they close at 10 pm. It's one of my favorite places to chill and invite friends to have a relaxing time while having a meal or just a coffee.
