Upon entering the museum, you'll find a large atrium.

Up the staircase known as the "Monsoon Steps,"

You'll be captivated by the large bookshelves that fill three walls.

The dim lighting creates an irresistible atmosphere.

This archive contains approximately 24,000 volumes of Western-language materials related to Asia, including classics like The Travels of Marco Polo, maps, illustrated guides to Asian birds, travelogues, and research reports from Silk Road expeditions.

It's also a popular photo spot.

It's also close to Rikugien Garden, so you can stop by there too.
