The Japan Foundation

I love this place, now they have more space and more collection of books 📚
It was a good experience to visit Japan foundation library after a long time..

I've been visiting Japanese Foundation for a long time for it's library. This was my first vist to the new location in Green Park. Was visiting for the 'Echoes of Prosperity' art gallery. Galerie Geek Art presented some of the best Japanese art from 1980 to 1990. My favorite was Japanese Joconde(pic attached) by Shigeo Fukuda. The guide book was a great touch. It helped me understand the artwork and the artist in detail. Looking forward for more such events.

The best library in Delhi for people who want to learn, explore and enjoy Japanese culture. It has an excellent collection of mangas and magazines from Japan like shonen jump and others who people an inside of the weekly mangas. It has other books related to Japan like its language book, Japanese yearbook etc. which are good for those who wish to know more about Japan and its people.

Public library
Extensive collection of books, novels(fiction -nonfictiion ) magazines or mangas written in English or Japanese.
Having grown up watching anime or reading mangas(Naruto , Tokyo ghoul , Dragon Ball)
I just absolutely loved the place right from the moment we entered.

Special manga zone where u can pick up any manga just sit and read.
Anime costumes of famous characters members and visitors can try on and click selfies .
One can read latest Japanese newspaper or magazines

I am an otaku and hands down this is the best place to uncover the Japanese culture and learn Japanese. I went there with few of my friends, we visited the gallery which was very beautiful most of the paintings depicted the Japanese culture. The library was amazing,there were a lot of books and mangas and there were cloths for cosplay. Every few weeks they have a screening of anime movie (which is obviously every otakus dream to watch an anime movie on big screen). The staff is really polite and is always ready to help, location of jf is really accessible as it just a few metres away from the metro station

Japan foundation is a place where they do activities related to promote both country cultures. I also attend this type of function. A thumri, khatthak dance done by a Japanese lady and some indian kids do Japanese martial art JUDO there. Anyone can attend these programs. They also have a exhibition hall in basement. Where they have some pictures of there historical and tourist place. They have a library . You can avail facility after being a member. Japanese language classes also a part of this foundation. You can learn Japanese there.Please visit and like review if you find the information given is useful.

If you wanna read manga, this place is for you for free of cost, can also take home mangas by being a part of there curriculum. They also conduct classes for learning japanese

Frequently hosts exhibitions and workshops. Origami exhibition was a delight.
Wonderfully quiet library.

I loved this place for any manga lover or anime lover this place is great

This place has the best manga collection in whole of India, and also a perfect place to read them. You can spend hours here, and still it ain't gonna be enough. Time moves extremely fast here. Literally, A heaven for manga readers.

Visited an exhibit re: urbanisation of Delhi and it was quite well done & informative. 18 panels wth description and before and after shot comparing 1950s/60s to now. Takes 15-20mins to see it all.

Also visited the library upstairs. Nice collection of magazines, newspapers, books. A quiet and peaceful place to read or study

I love their initiatives, they bring in order to further strengthen the bond between India and Japan. Recently visited the exhibition of "contemporary japanese posters". It makes you more interested in Japan's history and culture. Watched a movie for free "the girl who leapt through time." Enjoyed it thoroughly. Also, they have maintained a very humble staff. Will visit soon!

This place not just has books, Mangas but also holds exhibitions and Japmovie premieres

Such an amazing place for those who are interested in Japan, its language and culture.
There is a library here containing various manga in japanese and novels by japanese writers. You can take membership at a very nominal price.

They hold some events too. Like recently they selected some people who gave the reviews of the novels they read and invited them to the Japan Foundation to discuss those novels. After listening to them, you yourself will feel like reading those novels.

Plus, they hold the japanese tea ceremony and calligraphy competition too(not everyday these events are held but you can checkout on their website). I participated in the Calligraphy and it was amazing^_^ The instructor their was kind and always smiling.

I believe everyone those who are associated or interested in japanese must visit there!🤩

Refreshing ambient, if you are a fan of manga I suggested you visit the Manga Cafe atleast once although their collection of mangas is limited, most of the popular mangas like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Vagabond, etc are there but not the whole volume of course. Also there are lots of books on Japanese Culture of which some of them are written in Japanese, so it somehow defeat the purpose if you are to learn Japanese culture but don't know any Japanese 😀

I visited the Japan foundation library as a visitor. It was a wonderful experience of reading Japanese authors books there, they also have mangas in both English and Japanese. The staff was friendly and the ambience was quiet to pass a summer 🌞 afternoon in favourite place such as a library. All in all I had a great time.

Photos aren't allowed to take inside the building.

Nearest metro station is Moolchand.
