Kinokuniya

Kinokuniya is a renowned bookstore chain that began its journey in the United States in 1969, opening its first location in the Japan Center mall in San Francisco. Initially focusing on Japanese and Japan-related literature, the store has since expanded its offerings to include a diverse selection of English and Japanese books, magazines, anime, manga, and related merchandise.

The San Francisco location boasts a dedicated Anime Manga section on the first floor, featuring an illustration by notable artist Katsuya Terada, while the second floor houses general reading materials and gifts. Known for hosting signing events with prominent figures like Donald Keene and George Takei, Kinokuniya continues to celebrate Japanese culture and literature in a vibrant retail environment.
