[Ueno] International Library of Children's Literature Guided Tour! Held Every Tuesday and Thursday
The International Library of Children's Literature holds guided tours every Tuesday and Thursday. The content is aimed at adults, but there are no eligibility restrictions and anyone can take part. Each tour accepts 1 to 20 people, with advance registration required on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are currently open.
The explanations are geared toward adults, but participation isn't restricted, and small groups can join, so the tour is easy to drop in on. Because advance registration is required, those interested are encouraged to apply early.
