Kinokuniya Bookstore - Austin

A Sanctuary for Stationery Lovers and Origami Enthusiasts! I visit Kinokuniya almost every week; it is truly one of my favorite spots to browse and find unique items. My main goal today was to pick up some origami books and high-quality paper. If you are an origami hobbyist, you simply cannot miss this place—the variety of patterns and textures, including many authentic papers imported directly from Japan, is unmatched. Beyond the crafts, I always spend time exploring their incredible collection of Studio Ghibli merchandise. Whether you are looking for Japanese books, the latest manga, or beautiful stationery and small lifestyle gifts, this bookstore has it all. The atmosphere is wonderful, and it’s a great place to discover something special. I love supporting this shop and highly recommend everyone to stop by and show some love to this Japanese gem. It’s a must-visit in Austin!

Came here multiple times but on this day…finally making it legit that this place is a great place to find authentic anime, Sanrio, art high grade pens, authentic novelties, rare collectibles. My son needed supplies for his architecture school and we find what he needed here for a great price! The staff are always helpful and friendly and upbeat!

My daughter loves going to this bookstore when we go to Austin. A variety of items from books, art, souvenirs, stationary items, etc Since my grandson knows English and Spanish, now we'll introduce Japanese!

Great place to get Japanese pencils ✏️ and other fun items of Japan! Love coming here! 🙂

There was so much cool stuff but the only thing when I went they were restocking the blind bag section and we couldn’t see in that section but a lot of cool anime stuff and the best part was the big cute statue

Firts time here a lot pencils ✏️ good experience

Great stationary, pen, crafting, and book store. Austin’s best spot for Asian literature of all kinds. If you are into pens, like I am, this is your new favorite spot - other places have better specialized selections, but this is the spot for the most variety. From Gelly Roll gel pens to one of the largest arrays of fountain pens they have the pen to meet your stylophile needs.
