Goethe Archive Tokyo, Research library in Nishigahara, Japan.
The Goethe Archive Tokyo maintains over 150,000 books, manuscripts, and documents focused on German literature and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's works.
Businessman Tadashi Kogawa established the foundation in 1949 as Goethe-Gesellschaft Tokio before relocating to its current Nishigahara location in 1988.
The library organizes exhibitions, lectures, and academic programs that strengthen literary connections between Japanese and German scholarly communities.
Researchers can access the extensive collection by scheduling appointments in advance, with exhibitions running from April to June and August to December.
The street facing the archive bears the name Goethe-Weg, featuring plaques with Goethe's poetry and translations alongside a dedicated Goethe-Park.
