Japanese Bookstore: Kinokuniya NYC | Japanese Books, Manga, Stationery & More

Tucked directly across from Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan sits a bookstore that feels like stepping into another world. In this walking tour, we explore Kinokuniya New York — the flagship U.S. location of the beloved Japanese bookstore, quietly serving locals, tourists, artists, readers, and anime fans since 1981. Floor by floor, we wander through beautifully curated English and Japanese coffee table books, art books, literature, manga in both English and Japanese, graphic novels, anime goods, toys, and an entire basement dedicated to authentic Japanese stationery. Upstairs, a cozy café overlooks shelves of manga and collectibles, making it easy to lose track of time. Whether you’re visiting New York, live nearby, or simply love bookstores, this immersive walkthrough shows why Kinokuniya is one of the city’s most special — and most overlooked — destinations. ⏳ 00:27 1st Floor 04:14 2nd Floor 10:36 Basement 📍 1073 6th Ave 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10018 🔍 #kinokuniya #kinokuniyanyc #nycbookstore #bookstoretour #mangastore #japanesebookstore #bryantpark #midtownmanhattan #animegoods #manga #stationerylover #coffeetablebooks #artbooks #nycshops #hiddennyc #explorenyc #nycwalkingtour #explorewalkingtours #booklovers #japaneseculture 💌 Subscribe:    / @explorewalkingtours   Instagram:   / explorewalkingtours   TikTok:   / explorewalkingtours   Contact: explorewalkingtours@gmail.com 👀 Watch other videos you may like:    • Store Tour: Tamashii Nation | Times Square...      • Best Cosplay at Anime NYC 2025 | Epic Cosp...      • New York Comic Con | Walking Among Cosplay...      • Anime NYC 2025 | Walking Tour of NYC’s Big...      • Hypebeast 20th Anniversary Exhibition NYC ...   ❤️ Please consider donating to our channel: https://ko-fi.com/explorewalkingtours
