In reply to Carly. That happens a lot actually, a few books in the corner and a lot of cafes will say they're a book cafe. I would absolutely love to visit Russia though. Have an amazing time in Japan and South Korea though, you're going to have so many cool cafes and general themed things out here, haha. Thanks!

Now I’m jealous because I think I’ve only been to one “book cafe” (The White Raven in Irkutsk, Russia) and I don’t even remember seeing any books there… either I was sitting in the wrong section (doubtful) or they overstate just how bookish they are! I’m planning to visit Japan and South Korea next year and will definitely be on the lookout for proper book cafes!

In reply to Lydia Smith. It really is! Are there any book museums that have really stuck with you? I'm trying to visit lots of book related places. Thank you for your comments :)

Book Cafes are the best and I’m sure I’ll love to visit one. I’ve come across book museums, nevertheless, they aren’t as beautifully decorated as these book Cafes. I like the bookshops in Seoul and Taipei. Asia is sure a beautiful continent.

I am so happy you put this information together. I love reading books. More so on my vacations. I will totally check all these cafes out whenever I am nearing one.

Haha! I know exactly what you mean. You go to East Asia and never leave. I loved Hanoi so much, I’d happily go back anytime. So much old culture there. I’m trying to find all of the book themed things around, haha.
Thanks for your comment!

Oh my God! You are incredible. I have no idea these cafes existed. I’m not sure when I’d end up in East Asia (which may be best as I might not come back out from there and dire things will happen to my life), but the Hanoi one I’ll definitely save as that’s a more likely repeat trip.

In reply to Gina.

It took me ages to go too! It really hasn’t been advertised much, it’s only because a girl on Instagram posted a photo and I was like ‘I have to find that place’. Korea pushes everything to the limit, something I love so much about it!
Ah yes, I can’t wait to go to Jiufen, I’m planning to go in May! It looks so gorgeous. 😀
Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been living in Korea for almost three years and I had no idea about Book Park in Seoul. In true Korea fashion, the architecture is great because Korea has to be flashy and the best! 😉 Surprisingly, I’ve heard of the Rainy Day Book Cafe in Tokyo has it is popular with a lot of the expats and digital nomads there. I’d like to visit the Caves Books in Taipei because it kind of looks like the tea house in Jiufen.
