2026 Nijigaoka Park Fountain Full-Day Course

A free full-day course starring the fountain water-play area at Nijigaoka Park in Kitahiroshima City. In most years the fountain plaza opens from around Saturday, June 20 to around Monday, September 7, which Kitahiroshima City's guidance gives as late June to early September. The water runs only through the summer, and because play equipment and a lawn plaza stand alongside, children can move to the equipment when they tire of the water and to the grass when they tire out, spending the day however they feel. In the morning, visit Hokkaido Ball Park F Village, just a short trip away. Centred on ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, home of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, it is an area gathering restaurants, shops and open plazas, and the sheer size of the stadium takes even a child's breath away when seen up close. At lunchtime, move to Mitsui Outlet Park Sapporo Kitahiroshima for food and shopping to suit everyone. Then in the afternoon comes the Nijigaoka Park fountain water-play area, where you can play in the spray until evening. Each move takes about 10 minutes by car, and it is close to Sapporo, so you can set off on the spur of the moment. Whether the fountain is running changes from year to year, so checking Kitahiroshima City's guidance before you go is reassuring.
