Jingū Bunko, Religious library near Ise Grand Shrine, Japan.

The Jingū Bunko maintains an extensive collection of religious texts and historical documents within a traditional Japanese building structure in Ise.

Founded in 1907 by Shin'enkai, the library absorbed materials from two former libraries that were designated as National Historic Sites in Japan.

The library houses National Treasures including Gyokuhen Vol. 1 and Kojiki Vol. 1, containing essential records of Japanese religious practices.

Located at 1711 Kodakujimotocho, the library welcomes visitors from Thursday to Saturday and requires advance registration for viewing rare manuscripts.

The collection spans eleven specialized categories, differing from standard library classifications to accommodate its focus on Shinto literature and traditions.
