The TSUTAYA Bookstore in Nagoya is more than just your average bookstore; it features a beautiful lit bookshelf that stretches to a mirrored ceiling, a Starbucks where you can relax with a good book, and a comfortable space for kids to play.
On the first floor, the bookstore houses tomes on business, literature, and comics. Head up to the second floor for children’s books, magazines, stationery, and of course, the mirrored bookshelf. Don’t worry, you can’t miss it.

The mirrored ceiling and staircase not only make the bookshelf look massive, but also bears a slight resemblance to the infinity castle in Demon Slayer.
