A story of secondhand books and a small gallery in Zushi Ginza Shopping Street

A Tale of Used Books and a Small Gallery Encountered in Zushi Ginza Shopping Street

A Special Spot to Stop by on a Stroll Through the Seaside Town of Zushi
Just one station from Kamakura, the Zushi Ginza Shopping Street boasts a tranquil atmosphere. Tucked away within is the secondhand bookstore "Isado" and the art space "Torado Gallery," a place deeply rooted in the town. The charm of this area lies in its cultural hub, immersed in everyday life, rather than the glamour of a tourist destination.

Used Books at Isado - A Time Surrounded by the Scent of Paper and Ink

Isado is a small secondhand bookstore, but its shelves are tastefully lined with literature, philosophy, and art-related books. Picking up a book will help you continue your journey. Zines and little presses are also available next to the register, creating an atmosphere that directly conveys the passion of the creators. Quietly choosing a book became a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Totorado Gallery - Discover Art from Zushi

Just around the corner, Totorado Gallery was hosting a solo exhibition by a local artist. Despite its small size, the gallery's dense exhibits offer a unique atmosphere with every visit. The exhibition I saw this time featured paintings with abstract motifs, evoking the "memories of the seaside town" unique to Zushi. Hearing about the background of the artwork while chatting with the gallery staff is also an experience that truly embodies the warmth of the shopping street.

In addition to strolling the shopping street

Zushi Ginza Shopping Street is an interesting street where traditional fruit and vegetable shops and bakeries coexist with new cafes and general stores. After touring the bookstores and galleries, I recommend taking a break at a nearby cafe while looking out at the ocean. It's a place that isn't overly touristy, allowing you to experience a journey that blends seamlessly with the local community.
