Hirakata T-SITE is a commercial complex located in front of Hirakata City Station on the Keihan Railway. It's heartwarming that Tsutaya Bookstore opened this in Hirakata City, the place where they were founded, following Daikanyama T-SITE and Shonan T-SITE! 🥹✨ With Tsutaya Bookstore at its core, there are Starbucks, GU, apparel shops, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, florists, and more. The interior and layout are stylish, and just walking around and looking around makes me feel excited☺️✨ More than anything, now that there are fewer bookstores in the city, it's great to have a lineup of books that are featured with the best selections from the bookstore staff! I found a book that was easy to hold and read, just the kind of book I was looking for👍 📍Hirakata T-SITE ☑︎Address 12-2 Okahigashicho, Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture 573-0032 ☑︎Access 1 minute walk from the south exit of Hirakatashi Station on the Keihan Line ☑︎Business hours 7:00-23:00 (irregular holidays) *Please check the website in advance as the store may be closed or the business hours may change. *Business hours and holidays vary depending on the store. #OsakaTourism #Osaka #OsakaTrip #Hirakata #Starbucks

Tsutaya Bookstore is very stylish. But I especially recommend Tsutaya Bookstore in Hirakata, Osaka. It's so stylish!! Especially the huge bookshelves! It's overwhelming. Books are displayed according to a current theme, so you can enjoy it whenever you visit❤︎ #Osaka #TsutayaBookstore

Situated halfway between Kyoto and Osaka, the stunning eight-story Hirakata T-Site looks like a series of glass boxes stacked on top of each other. Although it’s more of a shopping mall than a library, the centerpiece of this gorgeous space is the Tsutaya Bookstore, with a soaring atrium and 7-meter-high walls filled with books. There are two of these impressive book walls on the fifth floor, and they’ve become an Instagram hit. The calming space is made even more beautiful by the natural light that pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.#Hirakata #Hirakatalibrary #japantrip

Hirakata T-Site opened in 2016 as a department store of the famous bookstore TSUTAYA. It is an 8-story building with restaurants, cafes, clothing stores, and shops that cater to every lifestyle. The highlight is the large bookstore that collects a lot of books and is designed so beautifully that it has become a popular photo spot. 🚊 Take the Keihan Railway and get off at Hirakatashieki Station. #Sakura2024 #JapanReview #TravelJapan #PlacesToVisitJapan #TravelAbroad

Hirakata T-site is actually a bookstore of Tsutaya. This building is not only a bookstore but also a place for entertainment, shopping, dining... Attracting many people to visit. As well as shopping and entertainment. The building is considered a giant library. With countless types of books arranged on towering bookshelves. 📚📚 Actually, in the book areas of Hirakata T-site, there is no cafe. But you can bring food and drinks from outside. Each area is arranged with many chairs. So just a cup of coffee or a piece of cake. You can sit here all day and read books. In addition, this is also a virtual living address for photography enthusiasts🌸🌸

Walking out of the station, the large-scale shopping mall with a modern and full-fledged bay window design in front of you will come into view. The bright lights are very lively. The first floor of Hirakata T-SITE is a casual food area headed by Starbucks. Buy a cup of coffee, a dessert, talk to your girlfriends in the lounge area, and talk to your business partners. The squatter bookstore is not a bookstore in the traditional sense. It is a way of life for modern people, so that guests who come here can feel the warmth of home and will be the most comfortable and relaxed. Good times stay here.

As a young artist, it is naturally unqualified to go to Japan without "byby" the squatter bookstore. Although the target user is classified as a middle class, whether it is a teenager, middle-aged or old age, they like to sit in the squatter bookstore and watch a book and a cup of coffee. Hirakata's T-site is a super-large comprehensive bookstore based on the Sakae Bookstore. Out of the Hirakata Station, the building in the night is shining from the second floor bridge, like a beacon that summons the return of youth. Perhaps the location of this store is to serve the surrounding communities, so there are very few tourists, and the people who stay in the store are the locals who come back from work. Flip through the book, go shopping, sit down with a cup of coffee, and become a natural life track for those nearby. The biggest idea at the time was that if there was such a store around my home, how much improvement in my quality of life?
