Takeo city Library

Public library

👍👍 First time seeing a public library with a Starbucks inside it! The space does not look like any public library I've ever seen as it had the feels of a really large bookstore, which might be the case because I think they partnered with a well-known bookstore chain in Japan to develop their public spa...

Hakodate City Central Library

Public library

👍 Stayed here while traveling during the coronavirus pandemic, and it was a comfortable place with a spacious, high ceiling, and plenty of comfortable chairs for easy reading. Isn't the book collection sufficient for a rural area? The staff's response is also professional. Onunume.

Cosmo Isle Hakui

Museum of space history

👍👍 I have visited couple of museums in Japan but this one was my favourite! The exhibition is small yet informative. Most information is written in English. The overall theme of the museum is amazing. They have numerous UFO files printed out and in folders to read through. There are hundreds of pages o...

Chikusei Public Library

Public library

😠 Be careful of the old lady employee wearing blue clothes⚠️ We still only allow copies of materials, etc. Past exam questions etc. cannot be printed. It's very inconvenient When I went to ask him about it, he gave me a disgusted look and said to me, ``It's obvious!'' ️” I got angry.

Camellia Stage Library

History museum

👍 何度も前を通ったのだが、今日初めて入館。驚いた。予想よりよっぽど充実している。玄関には、高齢者を意識してかバス待合所を設置。入口を入ると正面がカメリアホール、右側が図書館と歴史資料館。1階にはゆったりとした喫茶コーナーもある。ホットコーヒー250円。割引券を提示すれば180円！津屋崎にはろくに喫茶店も...

Niigatashiritsu Niitsu Library

Public library

👍 Subjective recommendation level: 83! There are many picture books for babies and children! I think this library has the most children's books out of all the libraries in the city. On the other hand, there are very few magazines. Space for children is small The location is difficult to get to, an...

Nishitokyoshi Yagisawa Library

Public library

👍👍 I use it often because it's close to my home. I'm sure it's difficult for the staff to deal with the coronavirus, but it's a nice library with a nice atmosphere. Even now, they are doing special features on their collection based on specific themes, and it gives me an opportunity to read books that...

Higashimurayama City Central Library

Public library

👍👍 図書館の利用カードの有効期限※が切れていたが、職員の方が丁寧に対応してくれた。今は市の図書館のホームページで利用登録することでスマホやPCから予約（本20冊まで、CD3枚まで）や貸出期間の延長（2週間）の手続きが出来るようだ。早速登録させて頂いた。本館は火・水・木・金が夜間開館日で夜20時まで開館している。...
