Thank you to all the well-behaved children… Blessed with good weather, we went to Tomioka's Nikoniko Children centre!

As soon as we arrived, it was like we were in a market in France…
There were boxes of books on the street, so we sat on the curb, in the shade of the tree, and looked at our favourite books.

This was Tomiokas mobile library…

It's a wonderful environment. Beside a babbling brook, in the shade of the trees in the garden, on the sandbox, on the terrace, in the fields…
You can read these books anywhere!

It was so comfortable that it made us think, why don't we just go get our own books?

There are so many picture books in Yumenomori!
There is also going to be a library in the open space in the centre of the building, which is still under construction. There will always be a book nearby, and you can grab a picture book anytime. That means there is many opportunities everywhere to fuel your curiosity.

That will be the place called "Manabiya Yumenomori"!

While the sun is watching, there is water, there is sand…
So… this is inevitable…

By stepping into the sandbox, anyone can become curious…
Teamwork is born, regardless of which position they're in.

Even at the beach here…

The wisdom you need in life is definitely hidden in the sandbox!
The expressions on the childrens's faces and the "feeling of immersion" they give off make us feel that way…

We want them to feel a lot in the sandbox, and learn a lot as well…

After all, the sandbox is the best!!

"I've cleaned the pool, so why don't you come to swim here?" said the principal to the children…

Let's go, thank you for your help!

Thank you very much for today!
