I agree! I always look forward to the Sunday for a Christy vlog. Or I just watch one of her old ones. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I live in Yokohama, work in Tokyo and always hunt for book shops. Book collecting and buying is still a huge activity in Japan. Much more affordable and in better condition (2nd hand) than in oz.

Drinking green tea while watching your video just feels... right. The book cover for the vintage book you got is so beautiful.

Vibes✨🌈

Your videos are part of my weekly stress-relieving activities. Thank you for transmitting your beautiful energy to us🤗

Such a lovely chilled vlog. You made Daikanyama a must visit for my trip to Japan in September! Can't wait to see more from this series, subscribed

Japan is on my travel list for eventually...I love Japanese food so much. I want to eat all the food. :)

My two favourite things: Tokyo and Books! Love seeing your Tokyo content! The Starbucks in Japan is just next level! Love the Matcha Frappuccino's 😆Such a lovely shot vlog as usual! :)

It’s always a great day, an early Sunday morning to watch a video vlog from Christy!

I love your vlogs! They are always beautiful, always peaceful, always so thoughtfully put together. A lot of youtube channels I'll put on and then do something else while it plays in the background. I always sit and watch yours because they are so aesthetic.

This is such a perfect Sunday video!

Your vlog style is perfection

Such a beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing. I love Tokyo ❤and your videos. Great work.

God this was such a cozy vibe-I love it :)

Thanks for the recommendations! :-) Saved them all.

The vibes 😍😍😍

Oh this was SUPER helpful. It's difficult to find great guides to bookstores (especially ones selling secondhand books) in Tokyo which sell English language literature. Your recent video about Japanese book recommendations was excellent; you started your list with a few of my favourites so that was the sign that I needed to press pause and get my bedside notepad and write down everything else you recommended 😆👍📗🖋. I will be in Tokyo soon and am very grateful that I found this video. Last time I was in Tokyo I only discovered one bookstore which stocked translated works and their section was very small and limited. THANK YOU CHRISTY!! 💖🙏

Seems like cow books store is must visit place in Tokyo for book lovers 📖💙

Going to Japan soon. I will see if I can fit some book stores in😊

Amazing and beautiful video thank you for sharing it with us love it 🥰 love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤

planning to explore and hopefully get some books in japan for my bday in august 7❤

Thanks for sharing this! I'll be visiting Japan in October! If I got this right, the best places for translated Japanese books are T-Site and Books Kinokunya Tokyo? I have this edition of 1Q84 as well. It's so pretty. Have not read it yet though lol.

Yep! The best place for translated books is Books Kinokuniya Tokyo! T-SITE has a great selection, but not quite as good as that particular Kinokuniya store. However, I do really recommend you go because it's beautiful 😊

Thanks for sharing that was cool 😎

I have exactly the same edition of 1Q84 :) The Portuguese covers and book format are exactly like the ones you showed for the Australia version. It completely lacks a sense of aesthetics. As usual, great video :)

Bookworm here visiting Tokyo for the first time this fall! Thanks for the awesome book store recommendations! This video was super helpful! How easy would you say it is to travel around Tokyo visiting different bookstores? Would one need an entire day like you did in this video? I would love your thoughts on this as we are planning our days in Tokyo in more detail soon. And if we only have time for, like, two or three bookstores, which ones would you recommend we go to?

I think to properly enjoy it, you'd need the whole day. I think I got to Jimbocho at 11am and left the final bookstore at 6:30pm. However, if you were speedy at each place I think you could do it much quicker. The trains in Tokyo are amazing and really easy. The signs are all in English. The screens (MOST of the time have English) and the announcements are in English.You just get an IC card (metro card), and you can use Google Maps to figure everything out. If you only have time for two bookstores, I'd reommend: #1 Books Kinokuniya Tokyo (right next to Shinjuku Station, above the Nitori) #2 Daikanyama T-SITE Happy travels 💛

If loving to visit bookstores in deep nights, you should visit Eslite Flagship in Taipei, which is open 24-7 & has a lot of books in English. Pity they’re going to close it at the end of 2023…

should go to Maruzen in Tokyo. my friend told me to go there. I think 8 levels top level is all English. it was amazing

✨✨✨✨

beautifl vlog

How much did you spend on the green and gold vintage? it's gorgeous!

from memory, I think 4000 yen? ($28 USD) Not exactly cheap, but not the most expensive book there

You look like Ann Hathaway omg!!

We will always support you. Stay safe.

Some look so nice! Why weren't you able to film in some? It's not allowed or you didn't feel comfortable to?

@christy-anne-jones

You're not allowed, unfortunately 😔 In some bookstores they have signs that say 'no photos'

I know this will sound weird but i love Her teeth.😊

Just curious, what is the reason they say no with regards to photos in the bookstore?

I know; that seems so odd to me. It's not a museum! (Where you can usually take photos anyway IME.)

Japan is a bit different culturally with photo taking. In this context, I think it's because they're worried about the authors'/publishers' intellectual property. Also, people there are really big on blurring others' faces (especially children), not taking photos of strangers, and not sharing IP they don't have the right to. It's just different to the West. I actually emailed T-SITE to specifically ask if I could film and showed them examples of my other videos, and they came back with a very strong 'no' 😅

I know it's not your fault but I hated not being able to see the video of some of the book shops because of filming restrictions.

This is exactly what i needed today. 🥹💖 thank you!
