#Modern Architecture #100 Ways to Travel #Kanazawa The Ishikawa Prefectural Library, designed by architect Sanda Yuki, is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Kanazawa, which is farther away than the other attractions introduced, but the bookish hipster can't miss it. The library, which only opened in 2022, is a brand new attraction, with more than three hundred thousand books tucked inside an amphitheater-like library that will already be more shocking than the interior design once you walk inside.

I heard that there is a beautiful library in Ishikawa Prefecture, so I went to the Ishikawa Prefectural Library, which is a little away from the tourist area. It is located about 10 minutes by car from tourist spots such as Kenrokuen Garden. 🚗 The exterior is full of style, and I was excited even before entering. 🌟 When I went inside and looked up, I was mesmerized by the view that seemed like a fantasy world. The books are arranged more carefully by genre than in other libraries, and I felt that it was easy to find the book I wanted to pick up. This library has many desks so that it is easy to work and study as well as read, and I was envious of the people who can work in such a beautiful view. #IshikawaTrip #Kanazawa #Library 🤩

There is a library that you absolutely must visit during your precious trip?! It is the Ishikawa Prefectural Library located in Kanazawa! Actually, I saw it on someone's Instagram and stopped by for a bit, but I almost regretted not going. It is a place you won't regret visiting even if you don't know Japanese. #HongKongFlightEvent

The modern yet traditional architecture creates a welcoming space filled comfortable seating, perfect for quiet reading and focused study. This is the biggest and most beautiful library I've ever been to. They also have a wide range of collection in many languages. The space is divided into 4 corners with different color flags (I feel like it's a reference from Harry potter lol). Really makes you wish that you are a resident so that you can visit this wonderful library every week
