Miyazu Shiritsu Maeo Kinen Bunko

Miyazu Shiritsu Maeo Kinen Bunko is a modern facility in Miyazu housing books, manuscripts, and local documents. The building combines the functions of a public library, museum, and administrative office in one space.

The facility was founded to preserve the extensive book collection of Shiraburo Maeo, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives. This collection later developed into a significant institution for understanding regional history.

The collection reflects the literary traditions and local stories of the Miyazu region. Visitors can see how these materials shape the community's identity and shared memory.

The building is located on Tsuruga Street in Miyazu and can be visited during regular opening hours. Visitors will find reading areas and research spaces available for exploring the collections.

The building operates as a functioning administrative office while still allowing visitors to freely browse the collections. This unusual blend of office work and public access creates a space where daily operations and cultural work overlap.
