The JDZB library offers a wide selection of Japan-related information to visitors. The library is a quiet, well-lit, barrier free place. We are also a lending library; to become a member you will need to present your identification card or passport and confirmation of registration 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.

Attention: Changed opening hours of the library:
Tuesday + Wednesday 11 am to 5 pm, Thursday 10 am to 5 pm
Lunchbreak from 0.30 pm to 1 pm!
