Hachimonjiya （八文字屋）
This book store can be found in minipla, a small plaza on Nanokamachi street. The plaza contains the Hachimonjiya bookstore, a stationery store on the upper level, as well as a gift and cosmetics shop on the lower level called “Pool”.
Komatsu Shoten （こまつ書店）
And even larger bookstore chain than hachimonjiya, komatsu shoten also has a wide selection of stationery and other school supplies.
Miyawaki Shoten (宮脇書店) in the AZ building（アズビル）
Fairly large bookstore that also offers a wide range of stationery supplies as well. You can find this on Nanokamachi street.
Kumazawa shoten （くまざわ書店）
This is a smaller bookstore and doesn’t have as much selection as other larger stores, but it is conveniently located on the 5th floor of SPAL shopping center in Yamagata station. It has a nice selection of greeting cards and stationery as well.
I really like Hachimonjia the best. It has a great selection of books for studying Japanese and other languages as well. The books for other languages are generally written for a Japanese audience, but this can be a good way to kill two birds with one stone, if you're Japanese skill is high enough. Great post!
