A spacious Japanese-style room and a bright veranda bathed in sunlight. This house was built in 1958 as the residence of Haruchika Noguchi, the founder of Noguchi Seitai and a leading figure in the field of bodywork.

They also sell used books, with a wide range of items from manga to picture books. 
You can also read a book by the window in a comfortable setting.
The owner, Kanami Nagamoto, says, "I never thought I'd open a bookstore," but the selection of new books is unique, ranging from cultural anthropology to design, art, and travelogues. Nagamoto's tastes, having studied Indonesian possession performing arts at university, are strongly reflected.
"I think the common thread between these books is that they are about someone's experience, rather than theory or criticism. I want to spread the word that there are many books that allow us to come into contact with unknown worlds."
Shortly after opening, they were interviewed by Komae City's public relations media. There was a time when Komae City had no bookstores at all, and Zazabenben was the second new bookstore to open since then.
"It's fine if you just drop in for a cup of tea, but I hope it will become a place where all kinds of people can relax. In the future, I would like to hold events related to my interests."
