Tsutaya Bookstore represents Johor's first Japanese lifestyle bookstore spanning 2,500 square meters, offering immersive reading experiences with diverse book selections in English, Malay, Chinese, and Japanese plus integrated coffee, stationery, and home decor. This innovative retail concept provides comfortable seating areas, study desks, and aesthetic lifestyle products, creating a comprehensive cultural destination that combines literature, design, and Japanese retail philosophy while fostering community engagement through reading, learning, and cultural exchange in a beautifully designed environment.
It's great to see another franchise bookstore exclusive to this mall! I absolutely love the interior and aesthetic; it creates a vibrant, inviting atmosphere that draws people in. The selection of popular books and the Instagram-worthy spots make it a must-visit for book lovers and casual visitors alike.
I hope to see this franchise expand to Singapore soon, alongside Kinokuniya. It would definitely add to the book shopping experience here!

Wow! What an amazing bookstore! It literally has everything you could possibly want in a modern bookstore. We could spend hours there just perusing their merchandise, from stationery and gifts to all manner of literary publications in all relevant languages. There's even a cafe inside for those who need a break from all the exploration. The design and interior architecture are next-level stunning and will certainly keep one coming back for more. It's wonderful that such an amazing bookstore is now available so close to Singapore. I will definitely be back again.

It's a spacious, modern bookstore with a beautifully designed layout that makes browsing and shopping a delightful experience. The store is comfortable and inviting, though its gifts and decorative items sometimes steal the spotlight from the books. However, these items are priced significantly higher. With more people leaning toward digital products, I truly hope this bookstore can thrive despite the challenges.

Tsutaya Bookstore is tucked away in the far right corner of Tebrau City Mall and feels like a mega book warehouse. It boasts an impressive collection of books, especially Japanese manga, anime, and a variety of other genres.
One of my favorite spots is the souvenir and stationery section, where I stumbled upon lots of innovative and super cute items; it’s a treasure trove for anyone who loves quirky finds.
There’s also a cozy café inside, perfect for taking a break and enjoying a cup of coffee or tea while soaking in the calm atmosphere.

"They have a wide variety of books. Everything is wrapped, so browsing isn't allowed. It's a nice place to get your books and stationery. It's slightly pricier compared to Harris, which is one floor above, but then again, most books are in pristine condition, and some titles you can't find elsewhere. There are seats available to chill and enjoy your books after purchasing them. (Note: all books are wrapped, so you can't browse them.)
For the cafe, I waited a long time for the food, and my coffee turned cold. There wasn't much of a crowd when I was there. There isn't much vegetarian choice, though. The service staff are very good."
