A treasure trove of knowledge hidden in Akita🌊 The most beautiful library in Tohoku, Japan

Who among my family members understands? There is such a beautiful library hidden in the northeast of Japan - Akita International University Nakajima Memorial Library✨

This library perfectly combines the natural scenery and traditional heritage of Akita. It uses a lot of Akita cedar and uses traditional crafts to create a unique umbrella-shaped roof. Once you step in, the quiet atmosphere is directly full. Whether it is borrowing and studying or just visiting, it can make people instantly immersed~

The space in the library is very large, with more than 70,000 books, 200 newspapers and magazines, and 3,000 audio-visual materials. Foreign books account for about 60%. Even if you don’t know Japanese, you can still "treasure hunt" happily📖 As for whether there are Chinese books, it’s up to you to explore them yourself~

In order to create an excellent reading environment for teachers and students, there are only 300 seats in such a large space, and they are all behind the stepped bookcases. The height difference is cleverly used to block the line of sight. When you look up, you won’t look at others, nor can you see the figures of others around you. It is a completely immersive "personal exclusive learning space". I love it!
