Walked all the way from Asakusa to Jimbocho to see the book stores there. The 50-minute trek took me once again through the backstreets of Akihabara. Most of the books were in Japanese but it was still interesting to see so many specialized shops in one place.

The somber silence in the shops and the smell of paper made for a unique atmosphere. My feet were hurting but my book loving heart was happy. I didn’t buy anything because of the usual reasons — luggage space and keeping additional weight of my poor back. Next time I’ll come with an additional bag to Japan for sure.
