The JDZB library offers a wide selection of Japan-related information to visitors. The library is a quiet, well-lit place that is wheelchair-accessible. We are also a lending library; to become a member you will need to present your identification card or passport to register the first time you use the library.
There is no fee to register as a member or to borrow books.

NEW: Research online
You can view our library catalog and see our collection even before visiting the library.

Another excellent tool for literature research on and about Japan is the CiNii, the largest Japanese central catalog which also shows the collections of all joining libraries, and lists those libraries where your desired medium is available.

Opening Hours:

The library is closed during the institute’s holidays (over the summer break and at Christmas, exact dates will be announced in the website).
