I recently visited The Japan Foundation in Lajpat Nagar-4 with my brother, and the overall experience certainly didn't disappoint us. Having grown up watching Japanese anime and reading manga comics {Naruto, Dragon Ball series, Attack On Titans, Pokemon and others}, I just absolutely loved the place right from the moment we entered.
The Japan Foundation houses a library on the first floor, and its collection is really remarkable - from fiction to non-fiction, there's something for everybody. There's even a special manga reading zone, where you can pick up any manga comic and just sit and read {although you have to become a member of the JF library first}. One may also pick up CDs/DVDs of various Japanese films and watch them on the library computers that are there. Also, the members are allowed to browse the internet for 30 to 45 minutes per day. And if that wasn't enough, there are anime costumes of famous characters that members and visitors can try on and click selfies while wearing them.
The learning centre is on the second floor, it is where the classes are held for the Japanese courses that are taught there. Yes! One can also learn Japanese here, how cool is that? So if you fancy learning this foreign language, you now know where exactly you need to be. There's even an art gallery in the basement showcasing fabulous modern artwork by talented Japanese artists. Make sure to take your time to appreciate the art exhibit.
