This morning, when passing through the cultural village street, the demolition of the building that had entered was closed in October this year of the "book Fast Shibuya" had already begun. Following the "DaiMoriDo bookstore," "Asahiya Bookstore", 6 floor, it'll be people there were surely many who received a big shock to was Shibuya one large bookstore dealing with 700,000 copies of "book first" closed News .

Well, what the hell what can the book first of the site?

According to the "Notice of architectural planning", the name of the building is scheduled to "(tentative name) Shibuya Udagawa-cho Building", the ground the ninth floor, underground 2-story, construction of large-scale commercial buildings of total floor area of 7980 square meters or. Construction completion is the end of July 2009. Perhaps, I guess apparel shop.
The same cultural village street, Yamada Denki is a large electronics stores around September next year "LABI SHIBUYA" (8 floor, total floor area of 8,858.87 square meters) open has also been planned, future, likely movement in this area is activated is. Existing Bic two stores, in cherry and one store, further subjected to any LABI SHIBUYA, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro similarly Shibuya also do you continue to transformed into a violent town of consumer electronics competition ....

By the way, it is book first, but next to Shibuya Nishimura fruit parlor in Shibuya Station, it moves to the Shibuya Daiichi Kangin Joint Building basement 1st basement and basement 2nd floor, and it changes mind heart, since last month as "book first Shibuya cultural village street shop" It is open. It is very convenient for commuting users until 11:00 pm and that it is directly connected to the station of Shibu-Chuka, Denentoshi Line and HANZOMON LINE . While the store is about one quarter the size of the previous one, magazines, popular books, new books, paperbacks and comics are on the basement floor, and specialized books and practical books on hobbies can be seen calmly on the basement floor 2. Arranged well, it is a compact bookstore that is just right for everyday use.

That said, for those who do not use the subway, it might be a very confusing place.

Oh yeah, it is a good to a new meeting spot.
Even if wait to friends, time crush likely ... while reading a book.
