. embodies what an attractive bookstore should be.
After his first visit to "ATELIER," Mr. Mita went to another shop he was interested in. He introduced us to another store in Daitabashi called "Backpack Books. So, let's head there in a "Kanguo" right away.
Mr. Miyazato of "Backpack Books" once came to visit me when I was opening the "Book Truck" store. It was around the time when I was about to open the store, and we had a lot of conversations together. Her background as a publisher was unique, and I was interested in what she was up to since she was going to open a bookstore.
. a few dozen seconds walk from Daidabashi station. The surrounding area is lined with small stores selling food, beverages, sundries, and other small businesses, forming a community of its own. In the midst of this townscape, Backpack Books stands out from the crowd. The eaves are lined with secondhand books of various genres, including novels, magazines, picture books, and manga, attracting the eyes of passersby.
. I thought it was a great store from the very beginning. I thought it was very nice from the very beginning of the store. Once you enter the back of the store, you will see that Miyazato-san's interests and passions for travel are directly reflected in her selections, giving the store a life-size feel that makes you feel close to the owner. On the other hand, there are also books that anyone can easily get used to, and I think this sense of balance, or rather the attitude of the store, is good.
Here, too, Mita picked up several books of interest and enjoyed shopping. Talking with the owner, Mr. Miyazato, is also an important part of the shopping experience.
I like Mr. Miyazato's simple personality, which is reflected in his store. I thought it was very nice that he embodied the ideal of an attractive bookstore. If I am ever in the neighborhood, I would like to stop by again.
