Miyagi Prefectural Library (宮城県図書館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is Miyagi Prefecture's prefectural library in Shiyama, Izumi Ward, Sendai City, within walking distance of Shiyama Park. The large building, designed to evoke a ship, has a pleasant atrium, and simply walking through it leaves an impression on children. A separate reading room for children means there is less need to worry about noise, and you can take your time choosing picture books and illustrated encyclopedias. Because you can stay cool indoors, it makes a good stretch of time for conserving energy ahead of afternoon water play. The surroundings are a quiet, green residential area, and the walk to the park is easy going.

Tips

Check closing days and opening hours on the official website in advance. A library card is needed to borrow books, but no procedure is required simply to read on site. There is a parking lot, so you can also stop by car. Events for children are sometimes held during the summer vacation period, so checking the notice board before you look around adds to the fun.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. The morning, before the sun grows strong, is comfortable
