MARUZEN & JUNKUDO Umeda

Fabulous book shop! By far, the best selection of English books in Osaka, including books on Japan as well as graphic novels / manga! We spent a good 2hrs here l brilliant !

This is a really great bookstore! They have a wide selection of english books. And there was a discounted english books with great titles

6 floors of books, magazines and stationery. You can't go wrong! They also have a huge section with books in English and from Japanese authors translated into English.

Very nice bookstore. Mostly Japanese books but they have a good-sized English book section on one of the upper floors. Haven't found a bigger selection of English books in Osaka yet but always looking

great place to see, lot of books/magazine, stationery and more to buy. a very good place to relax, be quiet and to read.

Absolutely outstanding collection of English language books for children and adults. Plus some great little gift store items.

Lot of books, really good prices. I like the way the sections are divided each floor. It's truly one of the most amazing book stores I've ever visited.

The best bookstore I have ever been. It is BIG (7th floor). You can get majority and latest Japanese book publication here. English book is quite limited (limited to a SINGLE Floor at 5th floor, I believe). If you are looking for learning japanese book, it is on the 7th floor, the reference book. It will be a remarkable experience for any book lover.

Had a wonderful experience shopping for sheet music and books. I asked the staff here for specific sections; not only did they show me the location for the genre, they even took the extra step and brought me some books related to the topic.

Excellent (and large!) selection of English books on the 6th floor. Fiction, non-fiction, manga, comics, etc. If you're looking to pick up an English book or just want to browse - I definitely recommend going here.

Great and comprehensive bookstore with helpful staff, a nice layout and an English section.

I really enjoy going to this book store. It is a five or six stories book store (maybe more, I'm not sure actually), and each floor is huge (and obviously Packt with books). It is the only book store in Osaka where I found good books in English, most of them novels and not specialized books, but really up to date. If you can read Japanese this is an amazing place to find a book for, I guess, any topic. If you're looking for a particular book, there are some computers where you can search for its location. Also, there are some places to sit and relax while reading a book (you don't actually need to buy it). And in some floors there are other type of things other from books, like cups and notebooks that you can buy. It is close to a Starbucks, so you can buy a good book and walk some meters to enjoy a coffee while reading it.

I think it has 7 floors. Good selection of JLPT and other Japanese language learning books. There are also books in English and they were on discount the time I visited. There are some seats where you can read while deciding what to purchase. Aside from books, there are also character goods and stationery.

Very friendly staff! For any foreigners going here to buy language books to learn the japanese language I'd recommend going here since they have a variety of textbooks like the minna no nihongo series, the genki series and tobira on the top floor. I'd also like to mention they have books for those of you trying to study the JLPT levels N5 to N1.

One of the best book stores I know of in Japan. The foreign book section is especially outstanding, even though it was reduced in recent years. One of my favourite places around Umeda.

Best selection of English Manga I have seen in Osaka! Very helpful staff! Lots of books on cooking, architecture, and more!

My favourite bookstore in Osaka. Large selection of books, Japanese and foreign. Multiple floors which are well stocked with new items. If you're looking for something to read, you'll find it here.

I think It's the biggest bookshop in Osaka. Except books in Japanese, there are English books as well. I can't find English books more than here in Osaka. I feel it's like a library. There are 8 storeys. I just enjoy to spent time in this bookstore.

Huge offer of books in English (on the 6th floor). Loved their section with books on Japan.

Brilliant bookshop in a quiet street just away from the station. Excellent English language selection, as well as small French, German, etc. very helpful staff.
