Kanazawa Umimirai Library

Kanazawa is known as Little Kyoto, a city that blends classical and modern. There are Kinzawa Gardens and Kanazawa City, and there is a 21st Century Art Museum, and there will be Kanazawa Hai Future Library. The "Kanazawa Sea みらい" library in Kanazawa City, Hokkaido, Japan, was named one of the "four most beautiful public libraries in the world" by the British BBC and one of the "20 most attractive libraries in the world" by the American travel guide Fodor's. The building is a white square cake with 6,000 lighting holes on the exterior wall, just like the name of the library, which has a sense of future. The architects designed the lighting holes so that the library can guarantee internal lighting without turning on the lights on a sunny day. The library has three floors. The ground floor is the reception area and the children's reading area. The second and third floors are the reading room, which is a huge empty space. The sun shines through the lighting hole from the outside, forming dreamy spots in the room. The whole library is quiet, with only the occasional rustling of books. Visiting the library can be entered for free, but if you want to take pictures, you need to apply at the service desk on the first floor and fill in an application form. The application form is mainly personal information, and you also need to briefly describe the reasons for the application. You can fill in Chinese. After the application is completed, the staff will give a license plate, and you can enter the library to visit and shoot.

There are many books in the library, and it is recommended for those who want to read quietly. I want to go to the library, so I stopped by when I went to Kanazawa.

It's a little far from Kanazawa station, but I'm very happy to see such a nice and beautiful library and I've read some of my favorite books.
