A Vivid Miniature Tokyo Scene

We went to Japan and were mindblown by the aesthetic of the Tokyo alleys. Like any other tourists, we took as many photographs as we could but then realized that they were not enough, we wanted something more and wished that we could bring the beauty back home.

What makes this different than other book nooks?

Realistic Design

Every detail stays true to Tokyo, with high quality prints that contain hidden artwork and realistic depictions of a Tokyo Alleyway.

Building Made Fun and Easy

Specially designed pieces that feel satisfying to click together and an immersive manual packed with cultural gems from Japan to enhance your building experience.

Immersive Lighting

Unlike other kits, our special LED system is both bright enough to illuminate a room and incredibly easy to install.

I’ve built a few book nooks now and the quality on this one is so nice 😭 no more splinters, no more broken pieces, no more trouble figuring things out 🤩 and on the plus side, the booklet has cute little fun facts about japan too!

Great quality and design

I’ve really enjoyed building my Tokyo Alley and have winded down with this almost every night for the past couple weeks. I’ve tried to build another similar dollhouse thing years ago, but this one is much more sturdy and well-designed. Love love love!

AMAZING!

I’m in awe of the craftsmanship and quality. I’ve done a few different brands and I usually dread it because of how poorly made kits are. I’m usually full of splinters and anger. The kit that was sent has beautifully put together pieces with really nice electrical components. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to buy lights or ask for replacement pieces for motors. The placement of the wood pieces is really intuitive too, I’m not hopping around looking for things.

A miniature work of art

Looking for a gift for my niece who is in design school I came across booknooks, new to me. I thought a Japanese scene would be fun to look up. Found a couple but they looked too polished. Finally found this site and I love the real representation of a Tokyo side street. From the A/C units to the izakaya this is spot on. Great kit and I can't wait to see a picture of it finished in my nieces dorm.

Tokyo Alley Product Designer

It was a blast designing Tokyo Alley. My favorite thing was getting to go back and look at pictures of all my favorite places in Tokyo. We spent a lot of time making this extremely fun to build. We found that most book nooks had too many small parts and too many repetitive tasks. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen and I can't stop staring at it.
