Museum
Kyoto International Manga Museum
A former elementary school holding roughly 300,000 volumes — and you can sit down and read them.
The museum keeps its collection on open shelves along the corridors of a preserved 1929 school building, and visitors are free to take a volume outside and read on the lawn. It holds manga from the Meiji era to the present, plus a large section of translated editions from around the world.
Why it is worth it
Most museums show you manga behind glass. This one lets you read it.
