| Eslite in Hong Kong | |
The first Eslite bookstore outside of Chinese-speaking countries will open in partnership with Japanese bookseller Yurindo Co. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district next fall, Focus Taiwan reported.
The 2,970-square-meter (about 32,000 square feet) store will be on the second floor of a building under construction close to Tokyo Station and will feature books, crafts and a dining area. Customers will be able to sample Taiwanese food and try making traditional Taiwanese crafts, NHK World-Japan noted.
"The developer of the building has been working with the Japanese government and private sector to revive Nihonbashi since the late 1990s through new construction projects, hoping to integrate new businesses with traditional culture," Focus Taiwan added.
