2026 Aoba Park Fountain Water-Play Area (青葉公園 噴水遊具) Full-Day Course

A one-day course built around the Aoba Park Fountain Water-Play Area (青葉公園 噴水遊具) in Otofuke Town (音更町), a day that also lets you taste the town's reputation for sweets. The venue is Aoba Park (青葉公園) in Otofuke Town, where the fountain water-play area can be enjoyed free of charge. The usual season runs from Friday, May 1 to Wednesday, September 30, open from 9:00 to 17:00, and the town of Otofuke describes the period as early May to late September. In the morning, go to Ryugetsu Sweetpia Garden (柳月 スイートピア・ガーデン). At the factory of one of Tokachi's leading confectioners, you can watch production through glass, and it turns into a stretch of time that children never tire of. For lunch, savour Tokachi ingredients at Michi-no-Eki Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato (道の駅おとふけ なつぞらのふる里) and pick up drinks and snacks for the afternoon. In the afternoon, change into swimwear and head to Aoba Park. Chasing the water shooting from the fountain equipment, dashing through the spray: the children find their own ways to play. Because it combines an indoor tour with outdoor water play, energy lasts even on days with strong sunshine. Every move is only a few minutes away by car, and the ease of being able to set off on a whim is part of the appeal.
