2026 Konan Green Space (光南緑地) Water Channel Full-Day Course

Konan Green Space (光南緑地), on the eastern side of Obihiro City (帯広市), is a quiet spot for water play where a shallow flow traces its way through a long, narrow strip of greenery. The Konan Green Space Water Channel is a free water playground; the opening season for 2026 has not yet been announced, and in a typical year the water is turned on in time for the school summer holidays. The venue is Konan Green Space in Obihiro City, and because the water is shallow, even toddlers who have just started walking can play within their parents sight. Spend the morning at Obihiro Zoo. It is not as large as a big-city zoo, and that size is just right, letting even small children walk the whole way on their own feet. The animals are close at hand, so being able to study their faces carefully is a big experience for a child. At lunchtime, move to Tokachimura, next to the Banei Horse Racing Track, and eat while looking over the products of Tokachi (十勝). In the afternoon, change into swimwear and head for the Konan Green Space Water Channel, walking the shallow flow from upstream to downstream again and again until evening. Animals, the harvest of the land and water play are all linked by only short drives in a single day. Since the opening season has not been announced, check the Obihiro City information for the current situation before you set out.
