Higashi-Matsushima City Library (東松島市図書館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The municipal library in Yamoto, Higashi-Matsushima City. The children's section is generously laid out, making it a good place to keep cool while picking out picture books and illustrated guides. As befits a seaside town, looking for books about the sea, ships and the aircraft with deep local ties changes the way you look at the sky over the park in the afternoon. There are also spaces inside where people can gather and spend time, so the atmosphere stays quiet without making families with children feel out of place. Putting a quiet stretch first, without using up too much energy before the water play, keeps everyone going until evening.

Tips

Check the closing days and opening hours in advance. A library card is needed to borrow books, but no procedure is required just to read inside. There is a car park, so you can stop by by car as well. Events for children are sometimes held during the summer holidays, so looking at the notices before you browse adds to the fun.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is the most comfortable
