One of my favorite places in all of South Bay. As a stationery nerd, I love their fountain pen, ball pen, wooden and mechanical pencil and paper options. The store is significantly skewed to the Manga loving audience but the stationery niche is something I just love visiting every few weeks. Some of the stuff you get here is truly special and well worth your time and money.

Great Kinokuniya store, however, most of them are little pricy, apart from that, they have great amount of manga/anime merchandise, this store looks very organized and clean too. I was expecting if this store size could be any bigger. Pro: Tons of manga selections Organized & clean Includes other like maganize, items, etc. Con: Most of them are expensive Small store

The store is located inside Mitsuwa Japanese grocery store. They offer variety of Japanese books, stationary, anime products, Ghibli and more. If youre a frequent customer, look into their rewards program! Great for Japanese/English Manga, fashion magazine, and gifts. They can also hold onto your monthly magazine/manga for you, too!

Good selection, better than anything else Ive been able to find in the area. Fair pricing, also considering the area. Has a lot of popular series and a pretty good of not-so-common titles. Compare selection to store size to that of the one if SF, this one has a lot of selection relative to the size of the store.

Staff is always so friendly. Even with a slight language barrier. I picked up a pilot fountain pen here and tested out a bunch with their help found the best one. Later found out that the pen isnt available outside of Japan at any other retailers. Super lucked out!! It was the pilot custom 74 in soft fine.

My go to store for nerdy anime reads and nice stationary/ pens. Typical kinokuniya store, the staff are quite helpful in finding good condition light novels but suggestion wise dont expect too much. bit pricey for some items but general light novels are pretty fair.

A bit on the small side, making it hard to find things. Still have good selection of both English and Japanese materials. You probably have to go to SF branch for language learning materials.

Our source of Japanese magazines and stationary. However the selections had been shrinking since they downsized the space several years ago. We still have the one in San Francisco.

Extremely cool place. Lots of Japanese stationery and trinkets, perfect for browsing while waiting for Santouka ramen. You will never find parking, do not try.

Went here to buy Japanese-made pens. Two whole rows of pens and pencils with a variety of choices and prices. Satisfied with my new custom pen.

same as in SF, great selection (not as big due to physical size) but always has exactly what im looking for.

Very pricey, but has a wide selection of stationery, manga, and just about anything Japanese.

Good place to buy expensive Japanese stationery items. Also Japanese language publications.
