MERRY-GO-ROUND book store

The book store is at one end in the Kawaramachi down town area in Kyoto.
It is on the 5th floor of retro building which has nice mood.
Most of the books there are picture books.
Also most of the picture books are Japanese one.
I think the reason for that is for children can read the books by themself.
Actually we can see children read books by themself there.
They also has a garelly and you always can enjoy some exhibition.
