How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The book district where Joker buys rare books at Nagiuri Bookstore and visits with Makoto and Hifumi.
The real place
Jimbōchō is Tokyo's book town, with more than a hundred secondhand and specialist bookshops packed along Yasukuni-dōri. The game's street, with books stacked outside the shops, is a close copy of the real scene.
Visiting
Browse the outdoor shelves along Yasukuni-dōri, then have curry, the neighbourhood's other speciality. The used book festival in late October and early November fills the pavements with stalls.
