2026 Kita City Genki Plaza Heated Pool Full-Day Course

A one-day course built around the heated pool at Genki Plaza, a multipurpose public facility in Kita City, Tokyo. The pool is open year-round from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (last entry 8:30 p.m., swimming until 8:50 p.m.), so you can enjoy a full day in the water in any season. Start the morning at Asukayama Park (飛鳥山公園), known for its cherry blossoms, and look around the steam locomotive on display and the small Asukarugo ride. Next, walk through Otonashi Shinsui Park (音無親水公園), laid out along the Shakujii River, and rest to the sound of running water. After lunch it is finally time for the heated pool at Genki Plaza. Being indoors, it is unaffected by the weather, so you can swim and play in the water at a leisurely pace until evening. With little travel between stops, it makes for an easy neighborhood-style day out, simple to plan for families living in Kita City and for anyone already heading to the Oji (王子) area.
