#springwander In the "Orient Hall", which is the entrance part of the museum, there is the longest exhibition case in Japan, which is lined with large original-size replicas of "Edo Dai-zu" and "Kokaito Ohimon Takubon" and valuable old books. The "Morrison Library" on the second floor after going up the stairs is a masterpiece with a bookshelf that reaches the ceiling, which is packed with books related to East Asia.

Founded in 1924, the Toyo Bunko is described as a "specialized library and research institute for Oriental studies related to the history and culture of Asia." It is also "Asia's largest Oriental studies center. It is also one of the top five centers in the world." It is a place where you can encounter valuable materials. Boasting a collection of about 1 million books, including 5 national treasures and 7 important cultural properties, it also exhibits historically valuable materials found in textbooks. Until September 18th, a special exhibition on "Oriental Medicine, Health, and Beauty" is being held. In addition to the exhibition of valuable materials, I think many people will be overwhelmed by the attractive design of the facilities, such as the Morrison Library. Why not consider a "museum" as a place to stop by when sightseeing? We also recommend using the "Orient Cafe" located next to it. 600m from Komagome Station 500m from Sengoku Station Toyo Bunko Museum 2-28-21 Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0021 #Tokyo #Komagome #Museum #TokyoTrip #TokyoWalk #TokyoWalk #TokyoSightseeing
