About this spot

The municipal library in central Tajimi City. The children's section is well stocked, with everything from picture books to longer reads. Being able to spend the sunniest hours of the day at a relaxed pace in the air-conditioned building is a huge help on a midsummer outing. True to a pottery town, there are often books on local industry and history, so you can enjoy following up on the Mino ware you saw in the morning. Build this in as time to conserve energy for the afternoon water play.

Tips

Use is free. Check the opening days and hours on the official website. It is a place to stay quiet, so making an agreement with small children beforehand puts everyone at ease. Eating and drinking are allowed only in designated areas. Leaving your water-play gear in the car keeps you travelling light.
