Kadokawa Culture Museum

Kadokawa Culture Museum

3−31-3, Higashitokorozawawada,Tokorozawa,

The Kadokawa Musashino Museum, located in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, is a cultural complex that combines a library, art museum, and museum into one curated area. It is noexaggeration to say that the huge stone structure created by architect Kengo Kuma is worth a visit just to see it.

One of the most impressive parts of the building is the "Bookshelf Theater," a 360-degree space filled with books. It stands 8 meters high and is lined with approximately 30,000 books. The space itself is very artistic, like a library but also like a museum, and its power is breathtaking. There are also a variety of other curiosities, and the museum seems to be a place where a wide range of art beyond the boundaries of genre is packed into one place.
