2026 Tokuyama Station North Exit Plaza Fountain Area: Full-Day Course

This one-day course, easy to reach by train, stars the Tokuyama Station North Exit Plaza Fountain Area, where you can enjoy casual water play right in front of JR Tokuyama Station in Shunan City. No seasonal opening period is set and it operates year-round, with operating hours from 10:30 to 22:00. Water begins to fill from 10:00, after which it repeats a cycle of 59 minutes running and 1 minute stopped (Shunan City official page, updated June 11, 2026). It is a water feature shallow enough that you can play by standing under the rising water or dipping your feet in, and the water is chlorine-treated and pump-circulated. Use is free. It is lit up at night, so coming back for another look before or after dinner is another way to enjoy it. Shunan City provides official guidance on how to play in the water: footwear such as water shoes must be worn; using the area barefoot or lying down is not allowed; because it is not a swimming pool you must play with your clothes on; play that gets diapers wet is not allowed; the water is not drinkable; do not run; small children must not play alone; and pets are not allowed. In the morning, pick out a book at Tokuyama Ekimae Library (徳山駅前図書館) in the station building, then have lunch while watching the animals at Shunan City Tokuyama Zoo (周南市徳山動物園). In the afternoon, stop by the Shunan City Museum of Art and History (周南市美術博物館) before heading back to the station front and closing the day at the evening fountain. Operation may be suspended in rainy weather, so on days when the forecast is uncertain, check the city's official page before setting out.
