Shobara City Library (庄原市立図書館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A city library located in the center of Shobara City. It has a well-stocked children's book corner and also carries local reference materials, so it's a fun way to spend time getting a taste of the Bihoku satoyama story you're about to visit through a picture book first. The quiet, air-conditioned interior is just the place to start the day on a hot day. Choosing a book before heading to the park also gives you more options for how to spend your break time. Keep the stay short and save your energy for the afternoon's water play.

Tips

Check opening hours and closed days in advance. Eating and drinking are not allowed inside, so have drinks outside. Parking is limited, so it's reassuring to have nearby parking lots as backup options during busy times. After leaving the library, picking up a boxed lunch and drinks before heading to the park makes things go smoothly.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Right after opening tends to be quiet, giving you time to choose calmly
