The National Diet Library. Researched 02 Jul, 2013
We went
to The Nationsl diet library the other day, found that the place is great.
Today,
I'll let you know about the library through this blog.
Before
you go, I have to tell you a list of things.
1, they
don't allow those who are uder 18 to enter.
2, they
are closed on Sundays, public holidays, the third Wednesdays of the months, the
end and the beginning of the year
3, they
require you to be registered to enter (use) the library.(the receptionists deal
with English language.)
4, you
are not allowed to take photos in the premises ( the photos which on this blog
are violations)
5, you
are not allowed to bring t heir materials out of the library.
6, you
are occasionally asked to deposit your stuff at the reception.
7, you
are allowed to use your own PCs at the library (ask them at the reception for
details)
8, you
are allowed to use their PCs to access their electric data
9, the
photo copying service is available.
10, there
is a café on the 4th floor.
11, a
guided tour is available to see what's there. ( it's free to join, takes you
where normally
people can't enter, deals with English.)
people can't enter, deals with English.)
I found
two things which are phenomenal.
1, the
enormous collection of the books and materials. (I found the North Korean news
paper.) In addition, the system to handle those matters is as great. ( We
saw gigantic machines which are as solid
as the ones in the Hollywood movies.)
2, the
breath taking architecture, the building is designed by Fumio Toki, cost them
42billion yen. ( you will see the geometric appearance that made of steel and
glass. The in door space is awesome. The double height entrance is spectacular.
The
architecture is ultimately well made in detail and it is kept fine conditions.
Over all.
The
elevators and the toilets for disabled people are fully located. Hire wheel
chairs are available at the reception. Priority car parking is located. In
short, the library is totally accessible , is helpful for the blind people as
well as the deaf people.
How to
get there.
Car.
The library has huge car park, accommodates 350. The closest exit of
Keinawa motor way is Seika Gakken (精華学研). Heading west
on Seika odori (精華大通）from the exit.
Train and
bus.
Bus (line36) goes to there from JR Housono station (祝園駅). Getting off at Kokuritsu Kokkai toshyokan (国立国会図書館).
Bus (line 41,47) goes to there from Kintetsu Gakken Nara Tomigaoka
station.(学研奈良登美ヶ丘駅）Getting off at Hikaridai 1 chome (光台一丁目）
Conclusion.
Honestly,
I would never be able to explain what I experienced at the architecture. All I want
is you to go there to experience it. (Jimi Hendrix asked "are you
experienced?")
