“KITTE” is a new mall produced by the Japan Postal Service which opened this past Spring. Kitte means ‘stamp’ in Japanese and this building/mall is one of the most happening places right now especially opening right in front of the newly renovated Tokyo Station. It’s been a few months since the opening and the long lines have calmed down a bit so now might be a good time to go check it out.
Marunouchi Reading Style is located inside KITTE on the 4th floor. It’s a cafe/book store/shop all-in-one. The cafe serves small meals, desserts and refreshments so it’s an easy spot to take a break. The best part of this cafe is, you can read any books from the store at your table while you are dining at the cafe. There’s even an area to return your books to when you’re done reading them.
Might be fun to check out both Tokyo Station and KITTE on the same day and enjoy a nice afternoon here since they’re so close to each other.

Hi Maki,
Thanks for blogging about Marunouchi Reading Style. We are visiting Tokyo right now and popped into Kitte to check it out. Marunouchi Reading Style is so, so great. It’s a really lovely shop/cafe and good if you are looking to pick up some gifts. After having a bit of a wander around the shop we stopped at their cafe for coffee and cheesecake. The coffee was pretty good but the cheesecake was a bit disappointing. It was a lovely, caramelised flavour but the top was dry and crumbly so I think it must have been overcooked. We ate it all anyway so it was still tasty enough ;)
We like Kitte a lot and are planning on another visit to pick up a few things to remind us of our trip to Tokyo.
Thanks again,
Suze, Carmine and Luca xx
Hi Suze,
Thanks again for all your comments and reviews through out my blog! Glad you got to visit KITTE & Marunouchi reading style :)
According to my daughter, my wife and me, one of the best places in Tokyo : quiet, pleasant and very nice ! You can find interesting books and drink delicious drinks.
