Traveler reviews

A small manga library. If you can read Japanese, prob a heaven for you :) There's some signed memorabilia. To get here, there's a bus or if you love walking, you can walk it here from Hiroshima station like we did.

This library is just a walking distance from the Hiroshima Contemporary Museum. Worth the visit if you are all about manga. 2 levels worth of reading material to satisfy your manga needs. The atmosphere is exceptionally quiet, so be considerate when you talk. - No entrance fee - Reading material is free to read and browse - All reading material is in Japanese

This library is closed every Monday. Nice place to relax on a hot day. This library is in a large park. Use the orange or green route bus on Hiroshima station Shinkansen side to get here easily.
