Tokyo libraries with English books

[Jonathan M. Hall]

Meiji Gakuin University Library has since instituted a strictly  
enforced entrance policy.  A letter of introduction is definitely  
needed. I believe there was an unfortunate incident three or four  
years ago that precipitated the shift.  Meiji Gakuin has a wonderful  
collection and is a great place to study.
