Like any bookstore, Kinokuniya boasts a large collection of cookbooks, travel books, children's books, and everything in between. There's just one major difference: most of the literature is in Japanese. That's because Kinokuniya originated in Tokyo, where it launched its first store in 1927. Now more than 90 years later, it has more than 80 shops in the U.S.—including an Austin branch that just opened in May.
Like its sister locations, the Austin Kinokuniya stocks books in both English and Japanese, so there's something for everyone. Pick up the latest manga and graphic novels or peruse the international art and design books that line the shelves. You can also stock up on unique Japanese stationery and colorful notebooks, as well as other school supplies. Even if you don't have something specific in mind, you'll still enjoy perusing the assortment of trinkets and toys at Kinokuniya.
