2026 Donguri Park Wading Pool: A Full Day to Enjoy

A one-day course built around the Donguri Park Wading Pool (children's pool) in Donguri Park (Fukumitsu-nishi 1-16-3) in the Nagara-nishi district of Gifu City. In 2026 it is open on a total of 31 days between July 22 and August 30, from 13:00 to 16:00. It is open on more days than most wading pools in the city, which makes it easy to work into summer-vacation plans. Admission is free, and use is in principle limited to children in third grade of elementary school and below. Preschoolers must be accompanied by a guardian, and infants who are not yet toilet-trained may not use the pool. Opening days follow the schedule published by Gifu City, so be sure to check before you set out. In bad weather a red flag is raised at the wading pool and it closes for the day. In the morning you can experience the 1,300-year-old culture of cormorant fishing at the Nagaragawa Ukai Museum, and at lunchtime savor the atmosphere of the townhouses in the old Kawaramachi streets. The afternoon is time to soak and play in the shallow water of the Donguri Park wading pool.
