2026 Santopia Okayama Soja WAPS Pool Full Day Experience Course

A one-day course featuring the outdoor leisure pool "WAPS Pool" at Santopia Okayama Soja (サントピア岡山総社) in Soja City, operating from June 27 (Saturday) through September 23 (Wednesday/National Holiday) 2026. In the morning, view the five-story pagoda of Bicchu Kokubunji Temple (備中国分寺), a symbol of the Kibi Road, alongside peaceful rice paddies and rural scenery, then take a rest at "Kibi Tsuru no Sato" (きびじつるの里) where you can meet the Special Natural Monument Red-crowned Cranes. After a tranquil morning touching history and nature, it's finally time to head to the WAPS Pool from noon. The pool features water slides, a "Rock Mountain" shaped like an actual mountain, and a circular flowing river pool, allowing you to enjoy water play through the evening. Operating days vary by period—weekends only from June 27 to July 12, daily from July 18 to August 31, and weekends and holidays primarily in September, so it's best to check your visit date in advance. A summer outing highly recommended for families where you can enjoy both Kibi Road historical exploration and pool water play in a single day.
