The book town, Jimbocho

Tokyo has a lot of attractive towns inside of it.
I like them, especially Jimbocho town, Chiyoda city.

Jimbocho is famous among the book lovers as a book town.

Since meiji era, there have been many universities and colleges around Jimbocho.
Therefore a large number of publishing companies, book stores and second hand book stores opened at the town.
If you need the books about particular subjects, I suggest you to visit various specialized second book stores in the town.
Surely you will get the books you have wanted to read.

Besides the bookstores, Jimbocho is also famous for many curry rice restaurants.
Perhaps you will have the question "why are there so many curry restaurants here?".
I am not sure about that, but while book lovers are searching books in book shops, it seems they happen to be hungry for a curry rice.
Maybe restaurant owners noticed our desire for curry then they started business on purpose?
If they did, I want to thank them for serving nice curry rices for us.
I have been to the town several times, and delicious curry rices were always made me happy!

If you like both books and curry rices, Jimbocho will be a paradise for you.
