On March 31, 2021, the bookstore “Bunko Fukuoka Tenjin” for encounter books opened on the 7th floor of the Iwataya Main Building, Fukuoka Tenjin, as a new business format that incorporates the cultural school “Gaku IWATAYA”. After paying the entrance fee, you can come across your favorite from around 30,000 books, and of course we offer the value created by the mixing and coexistence of both formats.

In addition, we will also sell limited edition lucky bags “Wenxi Private Collection”, a selection of books that will become “branch seeds” that allow you to understand your personality and point to a new world.
