WHY VISIT
Redesigned to address long-standing concerns about space, lighting, and collection size, the new Tarumi Library embraces a multi-front design open to all directions, bright naturally lit interiors, and a concept centered around creating a lasting community hub.
Multi-Faced Architectural Design
A multi-front design that looks like the main façade from any direction, featuring earth-tone exterior walls and textured surfaces that create shifting shadows.
120,000 Books & 316 Seats
A greatly expanded collection and seating capacity provide a much more comfortable and flexible library experience.
Terraces with Scenic Ocean & Train Views
Outdoor terraces on multiple floors offer sweeping views of the sea, passing trains, and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
