🏛️ A Hidden Gem in Asukayama Park — Seien Bunko Library

#hellohalloween Tucked within the peaceful grounds of Asukayama Park, the Seien Bunko (青淵文庫) is a remarkable piece of history. This elegant building was presented to Eiichi Shibusawa, a pioneering industrialist known as the “father of Japanese capitalism,” to commemorate his 80th birthday and promotion from baron to viscount. Stepping inside, I was captivated by the intricate details — the stained-glass windows, gracefully curved staircases, and the beautifully patterned columns that reflect the refined craftsmanship of the time. Every corner of the building feels like a work of art, exuding quiet dignity and timeless charm. It’s a spot that combines history, architecture, and tranquility — a perfect hidden escape in the heart of Tokyo. 📍 Seien Bunko, Asukayama Park, Tokyo #asukayamapark #tokyohistory #seienbunko #architecturelovers #hiddenjapan #historicbuildings #tokyotravel
