Ebetsu Tsutaya Books

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a complex in Bokujocho, Ebetsu City, where sections devoted to food and daily living are gathered around books. The building is divided by purpose, and the picture book and children's book corner is spacious enough for children to walk the shelves on their own. The food area has shops selling local produce, a bakery and dining space, so it is easy for each member of the family to put together the lunch they want. There are plenty of places to sit, making it just the right environment for a rest after a morning walk in the forest. Wide skies fill the windows, and time flows gently here in a way that feels very much like Ebetsu.

Tips

Opening hours can differ from shop to shop, so check the official website before you set out. The dining space gets crowded around noon on weekends, so arriving during the 11 o'clock hour makes it easier to find a seat. Buying drinks and snacks here means no trouble at the park in the afternoon. The car park is large, making it an easy place to stop by car.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. Perfect for an indoor rest after the forest walk.
