Ijin-Ike Architecture Library Kissaten

The "Ijin-Ike Architecture Library & Cafe," located on the second floor of the "Ijin-Ike House" in Chuo-ku, Niigata City, is a new type of public space planned and operated by the design firm "EA." Surrounded by a diverse collection of books on architecture, art, and stories, visitors can slowly enjoy carefully brewed coffee. Open until late at night from 10:00 to 21:00, its appeal lies in allowing visitors to immerse themselves in reading or simply savor the space itself, spending their time as they please. More than just a cafe, it is a special establishment that enriches visitors' sensibilities as a place filled with intellectual stimulation where books, architecture, and coffee intersect.
