Akita City Central Library Meitokukan

The Akita City Central Library Meitokukan spans multiple floors containing reading rooms, study spaces, and extensive collections of books and digital resources.

The library opened its doors on October 3, 1983, under the guidance of architect Yoshio Taniguchi, who incorporated both modern and traditional Japanese design elements.

The building earned recognition among the 100 Best Public Buildings in Japan through its architectural design that reflects local construction methods and materials.

Visitors can access the library's collection of books, periodicals, and multimedia resources, while dedicated spaces accommodate individual study and group activities.

The structure integrates into Senshū Park's landscape through its angular design and materials that change appearance with natural light throughout the day.
