2026 Ozora Park Water Play Area Full-Day Course

In the residential Ozora district in the south of Obihiro City, water play facilities start running at Ozora Park every summer. The Ozora Park Water Play Area is a free water plaza; the 2026 opening period has not yet been announced, and in most years it opens in step with the summer school holidays. The venue is Ozora Park in Obihiro City, and because the water is shallow, even children who have only just started walking can play within a parent sight. In the morning, first visit Aikoku Station (愛国駅). The station building of the former Japanese National Railways Hiroo Line remains as a transport memorial hall, and the place became known nationwide for its 「From the Land of Love to Happiness」 ticket. Standing in a station with no tracks and telling children that trains once departed from here conveys the flow of time in this land. Next, move to Manabe Garden (真鍋庭園) and walk the cool paths surrounded by tall conifers. For lunch, go into town to Rokkatei Obihiro Main Store (六花亭 帯広本店) and take a leisurely break in the tearoom. In the afternoon, change into swimwear, return to the Ozora Park Water Play Area and splash about until evening. A vanished railway, a garden of conifers and water play - a day that could only be put together in Tokachi.
