  • Big selection of English books
  • Prices a bit higher than Amazon
  • MARUZEN Marunouchi is not a healthcare provider but a major bookstore in Tokyo. This is one of Tokyo’s premier bookstores with an extensive collection of books, including a significant English-language section located on the 4th floor. The store is well-organized and spacious, making browsing comfortable for visitors. Foreign book enthusiasts particularly value MARUZEN for its diverse selection of English titles, which includes literature, comics, and cultural works like “The Tale of Genji.” The store is professionally managed with a clean, organized layout that customers appreciate. While the English book selection is exceptional for Tokyo, many reviewers note that prices are higher than online retailers like Amazon. MARUZEN Marunouchi serves as an important resource for international residents and visitors seeking reading materials in languages other than Japanese, with some offerings in French and German as well.
