2026 Shimane Prefectural Swimming Pool (Outdoor Pool) Full-Day Course

A full-day course featuring Shimane Prefectural Swimming Pool (Outdoor Pool), which operates from July 1 (Wednesday) to August 31 (Monday) 2026. Located in Matsue City. In the morning, visit the keep of Matsue Castle (松江城), a National Treasure, then head to the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum (小泉八雲記念館) to explore Matsue's history and culture before making your way to the pool around midday. The appeal lies in enjoying it at your own family pace—whether swimming seriously in the 50m pool or playing in the toddler pool (outdoor, July and August only). An indoor 25m pool is also available, providing peace of mind if the weather turns. Operating hours are 10:00–17:00, with affordable admission: adults ¥650, university students ¥420, age 65+ ¥520, and children through high school plus caregivers ¥200 per person. From Matsue's historical sites to summer water play, this is a perfect summertime outing that lets you enjoy everything in one day.
