Twin Plaza ツインプラザ

Submitted by cyangoose on Sat, 2005/09/24 - 14:48.
Location Description:

Twin Plaza is a beautiful double building in Nakanojo-town. It houses both the town's Board of Education as well as a branch of (the only one?) the Agatsuma Library.

The library has both a special study area where you can bring food and drink, as well as traditional study areas in the main library. It also has lots of videos (you can view them at the library only) and CDs (which you can check out for free!).

It also has meeting rooms, practice rooms for dancing and music, and a theater! Every month, they show a different movie, usually Saturday afternoon. It's about 1000 yen to get in, and obviously a great deal for those who live out in this part of Gunma.

Location Directions:

by Train
Take the Agatsuma Line to Nakanojo station. Head north (uphill), and it lies just past the elementary school.

by Car
Take route 353 to Nakanojo. Go north at the Ise-machi signal (伊勢町). Then turn left at the next signal (don't go towards Numata), then it will be on your left before the next signal.
