In fact, the company’s 33,000 sq. ft. Takashimaya Shopping Centre branch is one the largest bookstores in entire South East Asia, housing an extensive collection of more than 400,000 quality titles from all over the world that includes English, Japanese, Chinese, French and German publications.
Takashimaya Shopping Centre.
Beyond books and magazines, you can also shop for merchandise from a wide range of non-book items, such as stationery, lifestyle goods, collectible toys/figurines, hobby & crafts products, DVDs, and much more.
The flagship bookstore operates as a cultural and multi-experiential hub, where a dedicated event space hosts a diverse range of book launches by local, regional and international authors/artists, cooking and comic art demonstrations, craft-making, vocal performances, cast appearances, storytelling, etc.
Bugis Junction.
Of the locations, the Bugis Junction shop emphasizes selections – in a relatively more compact size in relation to the other outlets – that appeal to youthful crowds of customers from students to executives, in categories such as young adult fiction, comics and graphic novel, travel, language, business, etc.
You can also shop with Books Kinokuniya using the company’s webstore, which has been in operation since September 2014.
