2026 Ichinohe Hana no Oka Park Children's Pond: Full-Day Course

A course built around the Ichinohe Hana no Oka Park Children's Pond (Fountain Water Play Area) in Ichinohe Town, Ninohe District, offering a full day of nearby fun. In 2026 the fountains start running on Saturday, June 27, and with water only 0 cm to 19 cm deep, even children who have just started walking can touch the water safely. Use is free. The operating schedule published by Ichinohe Town (updated June 25, 2026) covers the period through Friday, July 31: mainly weekends through Friday, July 24, then daily from Saturday, July 25 to Friday, July 31. The schedule from August onward has not been announced, so be sure to check with Ichinohe Town before you set out. Operating hours are 10:00 to 17:00, and the fountains do not run when rain is forecast. The park also has flower-hill grounds and a lawn area, so between water play you can run around or spread out a picnic sheet for lunch at a relaxed pace. In the morning, experience Jomon life at the World Heritage Goshono Site (御所野遺跡); at midday, picnic on the lawn of the flower hill. In the afternoon, cheer at the fountain spray for a day that could only be Ichinohe Town.
