2026 Yonezawa Municipal Pool (米沢市営プール): Full-Day Course

A full-day course centered on Yonezawa Municipal Pool (米沢市営プール), open from Saturday, June 20 to Monday, August 31, 2026 (hours 9:00 am-5:00 pm, with the 50m pool only extended to 8:00 pm from July 20 to August 20). The venue, located within Yonezawa Sogo Park (米沢総合公園), is one of Yamagata Prefecture's most full-fledged outdoor pool facilities, featuring a certified 50m pool (9 lanes) and 25m pool (7 lanes), a certified diving pool, and even a toddler pool for young children. In the morning, visit Uesugi Shrine (上杉神社), associated with the Uesugi clan, and take in the air of the lush, green Matsugasaki Park (松が岬公園), before enjoying Yonezawa beef cuisine and souvenir shopping at the neighboring Uesugi Joshien (上杉城史苑). Once you're full, it's finally time to head to the pool for plenty of water play until evening. Admission is affordable at 330 yen for adults, 220 yen for high school students, and 110 yen for junior high school students and younger, making it easy for the whole family to enjoy without worry. Whether you want to swim laps in earnest in the certified pool's full-scale lanes or spend a relaxed time with young children in the toddler pool, everyone in the family can enjoy it at their own pace. This locally beloved go-to outing lets you experience Yonezawa's historical sights and summer water play, all in a single day.
