Toyomiyazaki Bunko, Religious library at Toyouke Daijingū shrine complex in Ise, Japan.
The eight-bay by three-bay building contains an extensive collection of texts related to Shinto practices and historical records from pre-modern Japan.
Deguchi Nobuyoshi established the library in 1649 to address the insufficient training of priests at Ise Grand Shrine, receiving 200 koku from Tokugawa shogunate.
The facility operated as both a library and academy, allowing members to borrow up to two works monthly while maintaining strict rules about keeping books within city limits.
Visitors can reach the remaining tile-roofed front gate and outer wall by taking a seven-minute walk from Iseshi Station on the JR Sangū Line.
Local groups successfully repurchased the site and recovered more than 18,000 books after the collection had been improperly dispersed during the Meiji Restoration period.
