Jimbocho is home to some of the largest secondhand bookshops in the world, and is Tokyo’s go to spot for finding used books and other treasures like old maps, stamps, ukiyo-e and papers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the Kanda\/Jimbocho area is home to nearly 400 curry shops as well as classical coffee shops which hark back to a simple time when people would settle in with a good book and a coffee with no electronic distractions.
