2026 Kusabue Park (草笛公園) Water Play Area Full-Day Course

Kusabue Park (草笛公園) in the Nisshin-cho (日新町) district of Tomakomai has a shallow water play area where children gather all summer long. The Kusabue Park Water Play Area is usually open free of charge from Monday, June 1 to Monday, September 7, from 9:00 to 18:00, and the city of Tomakomai gives the season as early June to early September. The venue is Kusabue Park (草笛公園) in Tomakomai, and because the water is shallow, even children who have just started walking can play within their parents' sight. Since it stays open until 18:00, you can build a plan that uses the afternoon at an unhurried pace. In the morning, visit the Tomakomai City Science Center. A backup unit of the Mir space station is on display here, offering an experience found nowhere else in Japan: stepping inside a real space station. Admission is free, so it is easy to drop in. At midday, move to an indoor shopping mall and spend the strongest sunlight hours somewhere cool. In the afternoon, change into swimwear, head for the Kusabue Park Water Play Area, and send up sprays of water until the sun sinks. A day that swings between outer space and water play stays firmly in a child's memory.
