Housing an impressive selection of art and design books, plus a few foreign-language tomes, Aoyama Book Center is an ideal place to pick up a gift for a discerning friend. The Roppongi branch – which sits on a well-trafficked spot right on Roppongi-Dori – also used to be a haven for bibliophile night owls, staying open until 5am from Monday to Saturday, though it now closes shortly before midnight.
