Why You'll Love It
• A little book street with a hidden post office
• Warm golden light glowing from the windows
• Curved windows and an upstairs book counter

The Story Behind It
A parcel leaves the hidden post office for the bookshop next door. It contains no address, only a pressed leaf and a title; the bookseller climbs upstairs, finds the matching volume and sends both back before the lamps dim.

FAQs
Quick answers before you build.
What's Inside The Box?
Kit contents vary by model. Check this product’s specifications and In the Box & Extras section for the included parts, lighting components, tools and accessories.
Liquid glue and batteries are not supplied. Please prepare them if your kit requires them. Some glue-free kits use supplied tape or stickers instead.
Will Items Ship Together?
Your order may arrive in multiple packages if:
Items ship from different warehouses (US/UK/AU...)
Large orders require separate boxes But don't worry! You'll receive: • Individual tracking numbers • Shipping notifications for each package • Priority consolidation when possible
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Lighting and power requirements vary by kit. Check this product’s specifications to confirm whether lighting is included and whether it uses USB power or batteries. Batteries are not supplied.
Touch control describes how the light is switched on or off; it does not identify the power source. If the power details are unclear, email contact@hinooki.com before ordering.
Is This Beginner-friendly?
Suitability varies by kit. Check this product’s instructions, recommended age and any stated skill requirements. Small parts and detailed assembly may require patience and care.
If you are new to miniature building, email contact@hinooki.com with the kit name and we can help you check whether it suits your experience.
How Long Does It Take To Build?
Build time varies with the kit, your experience and your pace. Use the estimate on this product page, if provided, as a guide rather than a guarantee. You can spread the build over several sessions.
Do I need any extra tools?
Included tools and extras vary by kit. Check this product’s In the Box & Extras section and instructions before preparing supplies. Liquid glue and batteries are not supplied; prepare them only if required for this kit.
If an included item is unclear, email contact@hinooki.com with the product name.
What Kind Of Glue Should I Use?
Liquid glue is not supplied. Some kits use included tape or stickers and do not need liquid glue.
If glue is required, follow the kit instructions and choose an adhesive suitable for the materials being joined. PVA craft glue is commonly used for paper and wood. Follow the adhesive maker’s directions, including drying time, and keep glue away from electrical components.
What If A Part Is Missing Or Damaged?
For damaged, defective or missing pieces, contact us within 90 days of delivery for free replacement parts. Submit the product name, order number and part numbers or quantities through our Parts Replacement Service, or email contact@hinooki.com. A photo, where possible, helps us identify the right part.
For an incorrect or unusable whole item, please contact us for the appropriate solution. This support does not limit your consumer rights; see our Refund Policy.
How Do I Track My Order?
We email your tracking details when your order ships. Updates may take up to 48 hours to appear. You can also use our tracking page.
Arrival estimates vary by destination and include processing time; see our Shipping Policy. If tracking is delayed or says delivered but you have not received the parcel, email contact@hinooki.com.
Are These Kits Suitable for Children?
Follow the age recommendation and safety warnings for the specific kit. Small parts and assembly tools may be unsuitable for young children. Adult supervision does not replace the manufacturer’s minimum-age guidance.
If the recommended age is not shown, contact us before buying for a child.

I am almost 80 and love the challenge the houses provide for me. Life can be boring at this age but I love finishing them and turning on the lights for my 16 great grandchildren to see all the cute things inside the houses. They tell me, "Grandma, make another one."
Store owner replied:
Hey Cheryl,
We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you're enjoying the challenge our houses provide! It warms our hearts to know that finishing them brings such joy to you and lights up the faces of your 16 great-grandchildren. Thanks again for sharing such a wonderful story, and we eagerly await to see what masterpiece you create next!
I am very happy with this purchase, the item arrived in about a week, well packaged and without any damage. It is very beautiful, just as described. The price is great, I also used an excellent discount, and the quality-to-price ratio is great too. I have had a good shopping experience.

I’ve been obsessed with miniatures for years, but this DIY cabin kit might be my favorite yet! The pieces fit together perfectly—no frustrating gaps or misaligned parts.

Ich habe bereits mehrere Booknook und ähnliches. Alle diese waren zum stecken und bisschen zum kleben. Das das Haus aber komplett zum kleben ist war nirgends zu erkennen.
Ich war Wochen lang krank und konnte jetzt erst damit anfangen und beim ausbacken dann bemerkt das es alles wirklich alles zum kleben ist. Leider nicht machbar und schade
Store owner replied:
Hallo,
Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Ihr Erlebnis mit unserem Twilight Bookstore nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprach und die Montageart, die komplett auf Kleben basiert, nicht klar genug kommuniziert wurde. Wir verstehen, dass dies enttäuschend sein kann, besonders da Sie erst später mit dem Bau beginnen konnten.
Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback bezüglich der Produktbeschreibung sehr ernst und werden dies intern überprüfen, um zukünftige Missverständnisse zu vermeiden. Bitte zögern Sie nicht, unser Support-Team zu kontaktieren, damit wir Sie direkt unterstützen können.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und wir hoffen, dass wir die Möglichkeit haben, Ihr Vertrauen zurückzugewinnen.
It arrived without glue. I had to purchase it. Also, everything has to be glued together. Unlike other kits that snap together or are but together with double-sided tape strips. I have enjoyed it! Much more challenging that other kits due to the gluing and the tiny size of all of the parts compared to other kits. Good price for what you get tho!
Store owner replied:
Hey,
It's great to hear you enjoyed the challenge and the unique experience of assembling your Twilight Bookstore, and we appreciate your feedback on the value. Regarding the glue, we’d like to clarify that, unfortunately, we are unable to include glue with our international orders due to international air shipping regulations, as liquids are restricted by most international carriers. We recommend using any standard craft glue or white glue available locally, which works perfectly with our kits.
Your detailed comments are truly valuable as we continuously strive to enhance our product descriptions and the overall customer experience for our kits.
Thank you again for your support, and we hope you enjoy many more miniature adventures with HiNooki!
