Rediscover the pleasures of reading at Japan House London's Library through our changing exhibitions and permanent collection.
The Library is accessible and free to visitors seven days a week during Japan House opening hours. Visitors are welcome to take a seat and become engrossed in an eclectic range of volumes on Japanese culture and innovation, that are often hard to find elsewhere in the UK.
There is no need to book your visit to the Library. Guests are welcome to work in the Library, and there is no limit on how long guests can stay.
Please note we do not lend books outside the Library.
