I am not really in a situation right now where I can order online. Is there anywhere I can go to buy these books in person, in Japan? Specifically anywhere in Tokyo or Yokohama, if you know any specific places. I have to been to a couple of bookstores in Japan, and obviously they aren’t selling any books that teach Japanese. At least from what I saw. Thank you!

Japanmazon has them
TOKYO:
The **Junkudō in Ikebukuro** has a floor (8th floor) dedicated to language learning books ([site](https://honto.jp/store/detail_1570019_14HB320.html)). They have books for foreigners learning Japanese, like JLPT books. The floor has a twitter account too: [https://twitter.com/junkuike_gogaku](https://twitter.com/junkuike_gogaku)
The **Kinokuniya in Shinjuku** has the book too on the 7th floor (7F-F28, 7F-F27) ([floor map here](https://www.kinokuniya.co.jp/kinonavi/disp/CKnNvSfGoodsPage.jsp?store=G2&q=+978-4789017305+&ptk=01&CAT=01&GOODS_STK_NO=9784789017305&stock_search=null&kinkan=0&stock_cnt=none) with red circles)

How about at a university?
If not, and I’m not in Tokyo so I can’t recommend there, but I have seen them at a few stores in Osaka so there should be stores in Tokyo too.
Yes. I’ve found them in most larger chain bookstores like Tsutaya; you may haveq better luck in larger branches. Worst comes to worse and you can have them order.

Are you going to really small mom-and-pop type places? It’s my experience that larger stores often do indeed have a section for learners. Thing is, it may not be expansive or easy to spot, and it might be labeled in, well, Japanese…but it is often there.
