1) Book & Cafe with a view of the ocean
"TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE Aoshima Kaiten Mall Store" is based on the concept of an "alley."By wandering around the store, centered around the open atrium, you can experience new discoveries and enjoyment. The orange pillars at the entrance were inspired by the "orange roofs" that are a symbol of Aoshima's beautiful scenery, and the glass sashes, comfortable lighting, and sophisticated furniture all combine to create a comfortable space for enjoying reading.
The store has approximately 26,000 books, mainly humanities and literary books, 55,000 stationery and miscellaneous goods, and a cafe with approximately 90 seats. There are open seats by the windows offering a view of the sea, and you can enjoy a variety of drinks, including not only coffee but also lattes made with tea, along with books and magazines.
In the "BOOK & CAFE" space, which is designed with comfort in mind, we offer a selection of books and miscellaneous goods for Aoshima's intellectually-driven customers, and propose the "lifestyle you want to achieve."

2) Wide range of proposals from stationery to fashion items
We stock a wide range of items to enrich your daily life, with a focus on stationery and miscellaneous goods imported from Japan.
For example, SAILOR's "Arita ware fountain pen" is available as a collaboration product with Koransha. It took about two years to complete the Arita ware fountain pen, which is full of a sense of weight and luxury, allowing you to fully enjoy the feel of the Arita ware's porcelain surface.
