| By the year 2005, around 3,000 libraries (main buildings and branches) had been established in Japan. Of those 3,000, 62 libraries were established by prefectures. Since Japan has 47 prefectures, this means there are 1.3 prefecture libraries per prefecture on the average. On the other hand, since there are about 1,779 municipalities (as of March 31st, 2009), the number of libraries established by municipalities averages 1.6 per municipality. | ||||
