Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department, compiled and reported

Japan has another fantastic new attraction to explore. Rokkomatsu in Fukuoka was once voted one of the most desirable areas to live, and recently, a large commercial complex facility called “Rokkomatsu 421” opened. In addition to preserving the original brick-red buildings, the 2nd floor now features the newly opened “Rokkomatsu Tsutaya Bookstore,” conveniently located near Rokkomatsu Station, making it easily accessible by bus or subway, and quickly becoming a new landmark in Fukuoka.

With the concept of “GOOD LOCAL,” “Rokkomatsu Tsutaya Bookstore” combines six key elements: travel, food, education, music, fashion, and art. The store offers a total of 180 seats, providing not only books but also music and movies, creating a rich and comfortable space.

In addition to Tsutaya Bookstore, “Rokkomatsu 421” also houses a variety of shops such as Starbucks, curated select stores, vinyl record shops, brunch cafes, dried flower shops, stationery, and general goods. Visitors can not only shop but also sit down for a coffee and some reading, enjoying a relaxing and delightful time.
