Bunkado

Check out our collection of spooky goodies (including our Bunkado Book Club October selections). Stop by the store to grab any of these items and more!

Don't let the sight of a dark soap scare you! Charcoal (Deitanseki) facial soap actually one of Irene's favorite items in the store! It's gentle, not drying, and does wonders for your skin. Shop the soap in-store or here on our website: https://www.bunkadoonline.com/deitansekisoapcharcoalbeautys

With all the changes going on, have you been wondering where to park when visiting Bunkado? For a limited time get one free hour of parking validation at Judge John Aiso Lot and Mangrove Lot when you stop by the store. (Courtesy of Metro Los Angeles) Map courtesy of Little Tokyo Historical Society
