This is the library with the largest collection of books in Japan. U will need to make a library pass to enter, and U will need to show ID on Ur first visit. U can only browse and make copies at this library, and U cannot take out books by borrowing them. Therefore, U must leave Ur personal bag in a locker before entering the library. To find the book U are looking for, search on the terminal and a staff member will find it for U. There is plenty of space to read books, so U can relax and read or browse materials.

My friend and I took a tour of the National Diet Library during our trip to Japan and it was one of my favorite places we visited. It was really interesting. The tour was free and it was just the two of us. Our tour guide was engaging and lovely. It's a stop off the beaten path but it's place I would recommend to others. There's a lot to explore inside and out. A serene area away from Tokyo's usual hustle and bustle. Photography by Jason Taylor

Very good. Please register (it may take less than 10 min) and have a look inside and use. Personally I really enjoyed the ambience. You can bring your own laptop or use public computers as well. I may come here again, and work or read some books. Lovely place. * Sunday and holidays, it’s closed.

I'm disappointed in the National Diet Library because their inflexible age policy ruined my son's research plans...

We traveled from the United States specifically so my 9th-grade son could conduct research at the National Diet Library for his National History Day project (he's a previous first-place winner). The library has rare primary sources on Japan's economic miracle that aren't available elsewhere.

Unfortunately, we were turned away due to their strict 18+ age requirement, with absolutely no exceptions or flexibility offered. This was very frustrating for us, especially because my son is a serious, award-winning student researcher who had planned his entire project around accessing these materials.

The inflexible bureaucracy was disappointing, especially when compared to institutions like the U.S. National Archives, which allows researchers as young as 14. We structured our entire family vacation around this research opportunity, only to be met with an inflexible policy that doesn't account for special circumstances or younger students' legitimate research needs.

For an institution of this caliber, I expected more consideration for dedicated student researchers, regardless of age. The lack of any alternative solutions or accommodations was...

My experiences with this library have been pretty negative. In today's adventure I had a long list of books, but it turned out that none of them were actually here. Most of them are apparently in Kyoto and could be requested to arrive eventually. In addition the paperwork for updating my address was unusually tedious. I feel I'm being generous with the three stars, even after making allowances for the Covid disruptions, but mostly it's clear that I'm not one of the target patrons.

However I'm a stubborn cuss, so I'm planning to try again after lunch. If I can't find a book to read in a library, something must be seriously wrong there? However, there is a parliamentary museum next door, so I'm pert' shure I'll learn something in today's...
