Hi there,
I'll be visiting Tokyo next year in April and one of the things I would like to do is visit some of the biggest book stores that Tokyo has to offer. Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

Hi, I don't know about biggest, but Kinokuniya, has a branch at Shimomeguro and one at Sendagaya 5 chome, and Tsutaya, a book/music concept store has various branches, but a good one is at the bottom of Keyakizaka Dori in Roppongi Hills.

Junkudo, Ikebukuro head store has the biggest book floor in Tokyo. A whole building(B1-9F) is all book floor. http://www.junkudo.co.jp/mj/store/store_detail.php?store_id=110:00-23:00(Mon-Sat) 10:00-22:00(Sun,Holiday) Kinokuniya, Shinjuku head store is the famous book store. A whole building(B1-8F) and Annex(1F-2F) are all book floor. http://www.kinokuniya.co.jp/c/store/Shinjuku-Main-Store/shopinfo.html10:00-21:00(Mon-Sun) I recommend you to visit Jimbocho(Jinbo-cho) book town if you like books. Jimbocho book town is the largest book town in the world with more than 180 second-hand book shops. Sanseido Jimbocho head store(No second-hand books) is another large book store in Tokyo. A whole building(1F-6F) is all new book floor. http://www.books-sanseido.co.jp/shop/kanda.html10:00-20:00(Mon-Sun) Remember, if you visit Jimbocho book town, the most second-hand shops 10:00 or later and close by 18:00, some shops close Sat by 17:00 and close on Sunday & Public Holiday all day. Some large book stores include Sanseido, Shosen-Grande in Jimbocho open Mon-Sun include Public Holiday. Shosen is one of large book store in Jimbocho, specializing in J,K-pop idols, train and military books as well as general books. http://www.shosen.co.jp/grande/10:00-20:00(Mon-Thu,Sat,Sun, 10:00-21:00(Fri))
