Libraries in Tokyo π
ππWhen it comes to "libraries in Tokyo," everyone thinks of the iconic National Diet Library. However, this library is vast and primarily suited for academic research and writing papers. π If you're looking for a more casual and relaxed library experience, I highly recommend the following places: National Diet Library International Children's Library (Taito-ku) π ππ Japan's first library dedicated to children's books and picture books. The renovated and restored old building exudes a modern charm, which is one of the highlights worth savoring. π You can find your favorite picture books and sit down to read freely. ππThis kind of space makes you feel liberated, and the extensive collection is truly exciting! π Hibiya Library and Cultural Center (Chiyoda-ku) π³ π Located within Hibiya Park, this central city library is surrounded by greenery, making it an oasis in the business district. ππThe triangular building inside not only serves as a library but also functions as a cultural exchange venue for the local community. This library is also renowned for actively organizing and hosting exhibitions, which is quite rare for a library. π π #Tokyo ππ
