About the Business

The first Kinokuniya bookstore was opened in January 1927 by former president Moichi Tanabe. It had 5 employees and was located in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo in a two-story wooden building with a floor space of 125m2 (1,349sq.ft.) and an art gallery on the second floor.

The first overseas bookstore opened in San Francisco in 1969 with the twin goals of providing Japanese living abroad with information from home as quickly as possible and introducing Japanese tradition and culture to the local community. Several other bookstores have since opened in the United States, including major stores in Los Angeles and New York.

Kinokuniya ventured into the Asia-Pacific market when it opened its first store in Singapore (Liang Court Store) in 1983.

In 1996, Kinokuniya launched its first bookstore in Australia, located in Sydney's Neutral Bay suburb. This was later re-located to its present day location on The Galeries shopping centre on George Street.

Established in 1927.
