2026 Akeno No.7 Park Water Play Area (明野7号公園 水遊び場) Full-Day Course

A one-day course you can enjoy for free, starring the Akeno No.7 Park Water Play Area (明野7号公園 水遊び場) in the Akeno district of Tomakomai. It is usually open from Monday, June 1 to Monday, September 7, from 9:00 to 18:00, and the city of Tomakomai describes the season as early June to early September. The water is shallow, so even small children can dip their feet and play safely, which is the appeal. In the morning, spend cool hours at the Tomakomai City Museum of Art and History (苫小牧市美術博物館) learning how Tomakomai came to be, seeing the nature of Mt. Tarumae and viewing the works in the special exhibition. For lunch, go to Puratto Minato Market (ぷらっとみなと市場) near Tomakomai Fishing Port (苫小牧漁港), where you can taste seafood unique to this city, beginning with the surf clams for which it has Japan's largest landings. In the afternoon, move to the Akeno No.7 Park Water Play Area and splash about until evening. Every leg takes around ten minutes by car, and being able to build a whole day without long journeys is one of the conveniences of Tomakomai. Opening may change due to weather or cleaning, so checking the day's status before you leave is a safe move. This course lets you enjoy summer in a city surrounded by sea and forest, both indoors and by the water.
