Jimbocho’s latest addition isn’t a bookstore or a coffee shop but an independent cinema built by a film lover who wants audiences to take more chances. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/12/11/film/mini-theater-cinemalice/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #cinemas #film #japanesefilm #chiyodaward #jimbocho
A movie buff in Jimbocho bets on independent cinema in a big way

In the book-filled Tokyo neighborhood, a new mini-theater hopes to introduce you to films you never knew you’d love.

The Japan Times
Tokyo’s “coolest” neighborhood is subjective and constantly shifting, as the city’s appeal lies in its diversity of areas, each offering a unique mix of trends, culture and hidden gems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/03/is-there-coolest-neighborhood-in-tokyo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #jimbocho #shimokitazawa #koenji #kichijoji #daikanyama #nakameguro #roppongi #odaiba #toyosu #ueno #nishishinjuku #shibuya #yoyogikoen #daikanyama #aoyama #omotesando #ebisu #tokyo #harajuku
Tokyo’s coolest neighborhood? There isn’t one.

Tokyo can’t be reduced to a single trendy suburb: What’s appealing is precisely the incongruity of its locales.

The Japan Times
Jimbocho may have topped Time Out magazine's “coolest neighborhoods” list, but residents say their home is more than just a bunch of books. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/10/18/lifestyle/jimobocho-coolest-neighborhood-in-the-world/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #lifestyle #bookstores #chiyodaward #jimbocho #tokyo #books
What does Jimbocho think of its unexpected ‘cool’ status?

The book town's residents weigh in on their home topping Time Out magazine's “coolest neighborhoods” list.

The Japan Times

I went to Jimbocho "Book Town", somewhere I hadn't been before.

It was neat, browsed through a couple of shops, but standing and browsing is harder on my back than walking, which was my main goal, so after that I walked through the rest of the neighbourhood, and from there to Akihabara to check out "mAAch" an old train station that has been converted into shops.

I thought there was going to be more stuff inside, but it was still a neat space. Then I walked from there to Ueno before taking the train back home.

With the number of bookstores dwindling in Japan, shop owners are trying a wave of unconventional ideas to keep customers coming in. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/04/22/books/bookshops-economy-japan-jimbocho/ #culture #books #books #bookstores #jimbocho #reading
The story isn't over for Japan's bookstores

Shops without staff, shelves for rent, cafes and meetups are some of the ways the country's dwindling bookstores are trying to survive.
