Kusatsu Town Onsen Library, Municipal library at Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal, Japan.
The Kusatsu Town Onsen Library sits on the third floor of the bus terminal building and holds a broad range of books alongside digital materials for readers of all kinds. The space takes advantage of its central location to serve both travelers passing through and people living in the area.
The library opened in 1988 as an important addition to the region's public services. Since then it has served as a hub for knowledge and learning within the community.
The library maintains collections about Japanese onsen traditions, local customs, and regional literature, serving as an educational center for visitors and residents.
The library sits directly in the bus terminal, making it easy for travelers to stop by while transferring between connections. Its location on the upper floor of the terminal building keeps it accessible without being in the main traffic flow.
The blend of library and bus terminal creates an unusual setting where travelers often use waiting time to browse the collections. This mixing of transit and learning creates an experience you will not find elsewhere.
