Jimbocho is the largest bookstore district in Japan. Some even call it the largest in the world, with so many bookstores lined up side by side. Japanese people read a lot of printed matter, so it is no surprise that Jimbocho is the largest bookstore district in the world. It has been a long time since the publishing industry was in a recession, but many bookstores are still in business.
As I wandered around the bookstore district, I noticed a bicycle parked in front of a bookstore. On the back of the bicycle was a pile of books. The owner of the bicycle seems to be going from bookstore to bookstore, buying books as he goes. As long as there are book lovers like this, this bookstore district will be safe and sound.
