2026 Takashimadaira Green Space Palette Fountain: A Full-Day Course

A free summer outing course centered on the Palette Fountain at Takashimadaira Green Space (Takashimadaira 9-chome area), a temporary installation appearing in Itabashi Ward's Takashimadaira. In 2026, it runs from Saturday, July 25 to Saturday, August 29, operating only on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 3 PM. The fountain sits in an area laid with artificial turf, with staff always on hand in the trailer house and a kitchen car appearing on some days. Since it is set up temporarily as a social experiment ahead of the redevelopment of Takashimadaira Green Space, it's worth visiting for this summer-only scenery. In the morning, start at the Itabashi Tropical Environment Plant Dome, touring the rainforest greenhouse and mini aquarium to build up that tropical mood. At midday, spread out a bento in the shade at Tokumarugahara Park, and in the afternoon it's finally time to get splashed at the Palette Fountain. The fountain is closed on Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, so plan around those two days. Since it operates only on weekends and for limited hours, check the Itabashi Ward official page for that day's operating status before heading out.
