Nakameguro TSUTAYA BOOKS is located in Nakameguro Koukashita, a newly developed underpass space around Nakameguro Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, just after exiting the ticket gate and across the old Yamate-dori Street. This small yet powerful BOOK&CAFE aims to be "Nakameguro's creative engine," stocking books, magazines, stationery, and other items that stimulate the intellectual imagination of those who live and visit Nakameguro.
The store also has a Starbucks, a work counter where you can read or work with a cup of coffee, a cafe space where you can chat with friends, a lounge where events are held, and it's a convenient place to meet up.
