A look at last year’s first event

The venue looked like this, with each bookstore setting up its own tent.
Venue map↓

The checkout was at the tent closest to the main shrine building.
The genres were really wide-ranging,

- Manga
- War and history
- Literature and novels
- Movies and anime-related books
- Niche specialist books
- Showa retro-related items
- Sports-related books
- Idol and entertainment-related books
- Children’s books and picture books
- Philosophy and prophecy
- Music and Western music-related books
- Picture books and anime-related books for children
and more.
It feels almost like stepping back in time to the Showa era through the early Heisei era!

If you go, you might find a nostalgic book you used to read, or even an unexpected treasure. If this sounds interesting, why not stop by?😄
