Why Physical Bookstores Still Matter

According to Handaka Santosa, the bookstore is not just a shopping center but also regarded as receptive to new ideas and activities. Through events focused on pop culture, book discussions and literary trends, Kinokuniya hopes to develop a vibrant cultural bent. The meetings motivate younger generations to engage with books and honor the perseverance of traditional bookstores in the age of online shopping.
