2026 Kibogaoka Park Fountain (希望が丘公園 噴水) Full-Day Course

This is an easygoing full-day course centered on the Kibogaoka Park Fountain water play area (希望が丘公園 噴水), set in a residential neighborhood of Otofuke Town (音更町). The venue is Kibogaoka Park in Otofuke Town, where a large fountain can be enjoyed free of charge. The usual season runs from Monday, June 1 to Wednesday, September 30, open from 10:00 to 18:00, and the Otofuke Town guide describes it as "early June to late September." Since it opens at 10:00, you can set out at a leisurely hour and easily build a plan that tours the town in the morning before heading to the water. Begin at Otofuke Shrine (音更神社) and touch on the town's history, which advanced alongside pioneer settlement. For lunch, take a proper break at Michi-no-Eki Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato (道の駅おとふけ なつぞらのふる里) while enjoying Tokachi (十勝) vegetables and dairy. Afterward, cool off at Otofuke Town Library (音更町図書館), pick out a book and rest before heading to the park. In the afternoon, play in the water beneath the big fountain until evening. Everything falls within a few minutes' drive, so even families with small children can make the rounds comfortably.
