2026 Kakogawa Sports Exchange Hall Heated Pool Full-Day Course

The heated pool at Kakogawa Sports Exchange Hall in Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture is an indoor pool open year-round, from 9:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and from 9:00 to 19:00 on Sundays and public holidays. Since you can enjoy the water all year regardless of the weather, it is easy to plan around even during the rainy season or the blazing heat of midsummer. In the morning, first walk the quiet grounds of Kakurinji (鶴林寺), a National Treasure temple with legends linked to Prince Shotoku, and take in the historic main hall and Taishido hall. Next, stop by Hiokayama Park (日岡山公園), loved as a cherry-blossom spot, and catch your breath on the lawns or take in the view from the observation deck. After a lunch break, head to the heated pool at Kakogawa Sports Exchange Hall. Being indoors, it is a place you can enjoy with peace of mind even in the rain, and with a current pool and lane-divided pools it satisfies everyone from children who want to move around to adults who want to swim laps. It is easy to reach from Kakogawa Station, so visiting by car or public transport is straightforward. A full-day course combining a historical walk with indoor water play, largely unaffected by the weather.
