Shibuya Ward Central Library (渋谷区立中央図書館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the central library of Shibuya Ward, located in Nishihara close to Yoyogi Park (代々木公園). The children's section is well stocked, with everything from picture books to longer reads, so you can make time for children to choose a book themselves. The quiet, air-conditioned interior is just the place to cool down a body flushed from walking outside. Events for children are sometimes held during the summer holidays. Yoyogi Park is within walking distance, so the location leads naturally into the packed lunch that follows.

Tips

Check the opening hours and closed days in advance on the official page of the Shibuya Ward libraries. The interior is a place to stay quiet, so tell small children about keeping their voices down. Eating and drinking are not allowed outside designated areas. Some days during the summer holidays get crowded with children's events, so visiting with time to spare lets you settle in calmly.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Spending the late morning indoors as the sun grows strong makes the afternoon easier.
