1.fuzkue
FUZUKUE is a book café that fulfills the ideals of bookworms with three locations in Tokyo (Shimokitazawa, Hatsudai, and Nishi Ogikubo), all of which were created as "stores for reading. The café has no Wi-Fi or electrical outlets, and limits the use of computers, talking on the phone, and long conversations so that customers can concentrate on their books.
Quiet music, cozy decor, and an air of timelessness. It is a heavenly place for those who want to increase the density of their reading time.
The food and drinks are also highly particular, and are served at the perfect taste, temperature, and size so as not to interfere with reading.
Each store has a slightly different menu and atmosphere, which makes it a fun place to visit. Why not spend some time in the silence of the rain and the sound of pages being turned, and spend some time carefully dealing with “books and yourself”?
After enjoying the quiet time, we recommend visiting the night café where you can spend the rest of the day relaxing! It will be a great time to visit with friends and discuss your reading impressions with each other.

2.Fukurou Sho Sabo
Located on the fourth floor of Esola Ikebukuro, directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, Owl Bookstore is a book cafe specializing in “savoring books” created through a collaboration between the coffee chain Doutor and the popular Kagurazaka-based bookstore Kamome Books. The store is a calm, woody space with more than 1,000 books lined up in rows.
Of particular interest is a corner called "Owl Library.
Here, visitors can select a book whose contents are hidden from view, relying only on the book's introduction. This is a reading experience where you can truly enjoy “encountering” books. The shop also offers a wide selection of drinks, sweets, and snacks, and the cozy atmosphere allows you to linger in peace and quiet.

3.Mori no Toshoshitsu
Although only a one-minute walk from Shibuya Station, the Mori no Tosho is surrounded by the serenity of another world. It is a unique book café based on the concept of "a place where you can encounter books while enjoying a drink or a meal. The store is lined with books in a variety of genres, including literature, essays, and picture books, and you can pick up the book that interests you and read it freely on the spot.
Particularly unique is the food and drink menu, which is inspired by the stories.
For example, the restaurant offers “food in a story,” such as sponge cake from “Guri to Gura” and bread and fried eggs from “Laputa,” that you can't help but want to take pictures of, tickling the hearts of book lovers. The space, which is not too quiet but still has a calm atmosphere, is perfect for a single person or a date for couples who love to read. It is the kind of place where, on a rainy afternoon, with a book in one hand, you will want to get away from reality for a little while.

5.The Earl's Reading Room
Artza Reading House, tucked away in a residential area of Koenji, is a tranquil book café that thoroughly provides a space just for reading. Upon entering, the first thing you will notice is the "absence of sound. No talking or computer work is allowed, and all you can hear is classical music playing quietly, the sound of water in a small aquarium, and the rustling of leaves in the wind. It is as if you have wandered into a study in the forest. Each seat is spaciously separated from the others, so you can immerse yourself in your own world without feeling the presence of others. You can bring your own books, and there is a wide variety of drinks, including herbal tea and chai. You can also choose a book from the bookshelf in the store. This is a perfect rainy season retreat spot for those who want to quietly spend time alone with just themselves and a book, away from their phones.
