Do You Know a Bookstore Where You Can Buy Real Foreign Books?

Foreign books can be purchased from 100-yen shops or specialty stores, where you can find hollow book boxes that look like foreign books, but they are just decorative items.

They may have a somewhat plastic feel or look cheap.

If you just want the atmosphere, that might be fine, but for brides who want a more authentic vintage feel, it's recommended to gather **real foreign books**.

One bookstore I highly recommend visiting is "Kitazawa Bookstore" located in Kanda Jinbocho.

This historic bookstore has been in business for over 115 years and includes a specialty display book store called "KITAZAWA DISPLAY BOOKS."

Inside, you can find over 10,000 carefully selected foreign books, curated by the fourth-generation owner, Rika Kitazawa.

The stock of foreign books is said to be among the top in the industry...!

They offer a wide variety of foreign books from antique to modern styles, allowing you to casually and enjoyably encounter your favorite foreign books that match your wedding's vibe.

By the way, foreign books from Kitazawa Bookstore are used not only for personal purposes but also in model rooms, commercials, movie shoots, and interior designs.

The interior foreign books seen in the Nissin Donburi commercial featuring Gen Hoshino and Riho Yoshioka were from Kitazawa Bookstore, too!*

Prices Start at 500 Yen per Book

At Kitazawa Bookstore, prices are set at 500 yen and up for each book.

It’s great that you can purchase foreign books reasonably and according to your budget.

You can also consult about the color, size, and content of the books in-store!♩

One Book Can Influence the Overall Atmosphere

"The choice of even one book can greatly influence the atmosphere of the space," says Rika Kitazawa, the owner.

It’s easy to imagine that the atmosphere would be entirely different if you placed a real foreign book from Kitazawa Bookstore next to a foreign book-style box from a 100-yen shop at your wedding welcome space.*

Furthermore, it’s likely that in prestigious hotels or wedding venues, real foreign books would fit in much better.

Though I was previously unaware of the world of foreign books...

I thought that at Kitazawa Bookstore, "I might find foreign books that make me feel inspired...!"

Brides looking for display foreign books should definitely visit.
