Don’t let the name fool you: loneliness books is a place built around connection, community and queer culture.
This independent bookstore and publishing label specialises in books and magazines about queerness, gender, feminism, loneliness and solidarity, with an especially strong focus on creators and perspectives from across Asia.
Based at platform3 just outside Higashi-Nakano Station, the space also hosts exhibitions, talks, workshops and other LGBTQ+ cultural events, making it a great stop for travellers who want to explore Tokyo’s queer literary and creative communities beyond Shinjuku Nichome.
