About
Tomodachi Bookshop sits in the Country Lane shopping precinct on Hansen Road in Frankton, a short drive from the main Queenstown strip and conveniently close to the Remarkables Park retail area. The name means 'friend' in Japanese, and that spirit carries through in what this shop offers: a carefully considered selection of books alongside gifts and souvenirs that lean toward the thoughtful rather than the generic. It's the kind of bookshop that feels like it was put together by someone who actually reads, and that distinction matters when you're looking for something to take home that isn't a fridge magnet shaped like a kea.
