2026 Full-Day Course Spent at Ebina City Central Library (海老名市立中央図書館)

This course lets you spend an entire day with books at Ebina City Central Library (海老名市立中央図書館), open from 9am to 9pm, 365 days a year. Admission is free. Inside, a striking wall of bookshelves greets you, along with a dedicated children's book floor where each family member can enjoy books at their own pace. Parking and strollers are available, so families with small children can visit with peace of mind. In the morning, head to Ebina Central Park (海老名中央公園), right outside the East Exit of Ebina Station (海老名駅). Inside the park stands a vermillion pagoda, a roughly one-third scale reproduction of the seven-story pagoda of Sagami Kokubunji Temple (相模国分寺), built in the Nara period, letting you encounter history in the middle of the city. After a leisurely walk through Bina Walk (ビナウォーク), the shopping mall surrounding the park, head to the library in the afternoon. Since it stays open into the evening, the luxury unique to this library is being able to reach for one more book without worrying about closing time.
