KJ Distribution

Bookstores

Yohan, Japan’s monolithic distributor of foreign books and magazines, went bankrupt in July, 2008. Many bookstores were totally dependent on Yohan for foreign publications. It is taking time for other companies to step into the breach and distribute English magazines in Japan.

At non-profit KJ we are doing our best to keep our magazine available in your area.
A list of stores appears here.

To never miss an issue of KJ and to save on the cover price, may we suggest you subscribe?
