Small Library, Great Resting Place

Experience the Quietness of the City

Just a few minutes' walk from the center of Tokyo, Akihabara. There is a small library away from the hustle and bustle. As the name suggests, the Chiyoda City's Shohei Machikado Library is a precious healing space in the neighborhood. Despite its small size, it is full of various charms.

Spend Free Time with Magazines and Newspapers

While books are the main attraction of a library, this facility also offers a wide range of magazines and newspapers. Pick up the latest issue and spend some free time breathing. The children's book corner is also prepared, so both adults and children can enjoy.

Perfect for a Break from Akihabara Exploration

After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Akihabara, have a quiet reading time here. Due to the limited number of seats, it's necessary to avoid staying too long, but that's the point of being able to casually drop by. It's perfect for a little time adjustment without needing to go to a café.

Comfortable Space with Convenient Facilities

To support comfortable use, the facilities are fully equipped. With toilets and water coolers, you can focus on reading for a while. It also considers infection control, so you can visit with peace of mind. Borrowing books is also available for people from outside the ward and Tokyo, making it open to various people, not just locals.

When you're tired of the hustle and bustle of Akihabara, it might be nice to take a little side street. Like a quiet study, there is a hidden space of non-daily life waiting for you.

Staff is so rude and when we are typing keyboard she said it’s noisy regardless of the kids and their parents is so noisy. Strong disrespectful and rude and unfair.

When you go to Akihabara for errands on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, such as concerts, you can rest for free and enjoy magazines, newspapers, and various books, and you can even borrow them. It would be nice if I could use an outlet or Wi-Fi, but I can't say that I can afford that luxury, and being able to use the library quietly is a huge help. Unfortunately, the toilet does not have a washlet. (Men's size: 1 Japanese style and 1 Western style) There is a cold water machine. It is probably the smallest library in Chiyoda Ward. Previous information said there were 2 general reading seats, but in addition to 4 seats right next to the entrance, there are many seats near the elementary school library (behind the reception desk).

Library right next to elementary school Although it is a small library on one floor, it is perfect for a break. Of course, the number of seats is small, so it is not recommended to use it continuously for a long time. Due to the new coronavirus, masks are mandatory even if you are not talking inside the building. There are a lot of children's books, but you can read newspapers just like in a regular library, and you can also research things on the computer. There are toilets and drinking fountains. Infection prevention measures include temperature checks, disinfection, and withholding visitor information. Can be used free of charge even by people outside the ward and outside of Tokyo. You can use the facility without making a rental card. Recently, there are fewer and fewer rest spaces, so it's perfect for taking a break while exploring Akihabara. I like reading Aoitori Bunko even as an adult, so I'm lucky that there are so many children's books.

The facility includes an elementary school, nursery school, kindergarten, library and many other urban public facilities. The library is quite small. There are few places to sit and read. However, it is easy to use to arrange a meeting time that is not enough to go to a cafe.

It wasn't a place where you could relax and read a book. Because it is attached to an elementary school, children are running around making strange noises, and the reader seats are filled with people sleeping. Many of the books in the library are for elementary school students, so it may not be a place for adults to go. For now, I guess I won't go.
