    About Admission<\/h3>\n
    \n

    \n At \u201cKodomo Hon no Mori Sapporo \/ Hokkaido University,\u201d capacity is set at 60 people per time slot (40 with advance reservations, 20 without reservations), and we ask that you use the facility under a complete turnover system.
    Please reserve by selecting your preferred time slot in advance via the admission reservation form. Those with reservations will be given priority for entry.
    If you have a reservation, you may enter and leave at any time within your reserved time slot.
    If you arrive without a reservation, up to 20 people per session may enter on a first-come, first-served basis. However, if advance reservations do not reach 40 people, entry will be accepted up to the full capacity.
    For sessions with events, capacity and procedures (such as lotteries) may change.
    Please check the reservation calendar and make an advance reservation via the admission reservation form.
    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation so everyone can enjoy reading comfortably.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
