Definitely a cool place to stop in and check out. Renovated in 2013, it’s the first Japanese library with a cafe (Starbucks) and they have partnered with Tsutaya books to sell books, magazines and gifts. If you head up the stairs to the balcony and turn right back towards the entrance, there is a sign marking the best spot to take photos.

Saw this library in the list of most beautiful libraries in the world. I haven’t really been to any and this is the first one. Indeed it was beautiful. I don’t know though if it’s worth it to travel all the way just to see the library and eat/drink Starbucks. Ahaha. But what I did was also go to Takeo Onsen. That way, travelling to Takeo itself becomes a proper trip.
