The Waseda International House of Literature (The Haruki Murakami Library)

Homely library. Open concept makes it feel more peaceful. The amount of works on display was impressive. The timeline was nice too. There’s also a cafe on the bottom floor. Be sure to grab and quick snack and pick up a souvenir. The exhibition hall is on the second floor.

You can read Murakami’s masterpieces in a wide range of language! Beautifully and elegant-designed building, and loving the exhibition 🤍. Quiet to read Murakami books and listen to his taste of Jazz music. I fell in love with Sinarta’s songs for young lovers here

If you are here for Haruki Murakami, you’ll see all of his works in every language displayed in the half part of the first floor. And that’s it. In the museum, only a corner was dedicated for his works.

As a big fans of Haruki san, it is unbelievable to visit the library and see all the collections, the books, the music and the studio. Also the library is designed by master Kengo, which is iconic and full of his style. Wihl cafe inside is also tasty, highly recommended

It is a recommended visit for somebody who is really into Murakami’s work. Don’t expect something big, rather than on the cozy, exquisite design and architecture. There’s no need for previous registration anymore, you can just go in without saying a word. The café downstairs may improve in the atmosphere, but the food was nice and not as expensive as I initially thought.

Somehow I got a ticket to this building. It's wooden and smells new and sounds like jazz. Books and records and a reconstruction of Murakami's workspace are just some of the super literary neat things here-- also the piano from his jazz cafe is in the actual cafe downstairs. If you're a fan, then totally come bask in the ambience. BOOKS!

I am a freak fan of murakami😃This place was like a heaven for me. The thing you could go there and see his books in all translation🥲 His jazz collection and so cute orange cafe made me crazy.

As a Murakami fan this is a must visit. Cool relaxed atmosphere with very friendly staff. Had a latte and it was alright, but was greatly improved as i had a view of the recreation of Haruki Murakamis current office. Also they had some cool merch!😄
