Kamakura Museum of Literature
Kamakura, Japan
The Kamakura Museum of Literature sits in a former villa from 1936, with rooms lined with polished wooden floors and views extending to Sagami Bay. Its collection reveals the personal correspondence and manuscripts of renowned writers like Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. Wander through the garden's path lit by late-blooming camellias and you're reminded why it's a destination for anyone drawn to the written word.
