The streets are lined with old, dark wooden houses. The whole place has a strong nostalgic vibe!

The whole building is made with tons of wood, so as soon as you walk in, you get this warm, woody scent. The design is really unique, and it honestly feels like you're reading in a forest. The view outside the windows is gorgeous—on a clear day, it really does feel like you're reading above the clouds. It's super quiet and comfortable inside, and the seating is thoughtfully arranged. You could easily spend the whole day here and never get bored. Even if you're not a big reader, it's totally worth coming just to relax, enjoy the architecture, and soak in the atmosphere!

I bought butterbeer and a cloak from Harry Potter!

I recommend going to the Nagahama Castle observatory in the evening to catch the sunset over Lake Biwa. The lakeside scenery is beautiful.
