Atami City Library

Atami City Library is a public library in the coastal town of Atami, located in Shizuoka Prefecture, offering reading spaces, book collections, and information resources. The facility provides access to materials on many subjects for both residents and visitors.

The library was founded in 1915 and marked an early step in bringing public education resources to this region. Its opening came during a period when Japan was working to expand access to knowledge and learning in communities beyond major cities.

The library preserves Japanese literary traditions through its collection and serves as a place where visitors can explore works connected to local life and history. You can spend time here discovering books that reflect the community's cultural identity.

The library is accessible and offers an online catalog where you can browse the collection before visiting. Standard business hours apply, so checking ahead helps ensure you arrive when it is open.

The library sits in a town famous mainly for hot springs, making it a surprising cultural anchor in a resort destination. This shows that even in places focused on tourism, education and local learning remain valued.
