2026 Saga City Sports Park Kawazoe Public Pool: A Full Day of Fun

This one-day course centers on the Saga City Sports Park Kawazoe Public Pool in Kawazoe, Saga City, which typically opens from Tuesday, July 21 through Monday, August 31. The outdoor 50m pool, with 8 lanes and a wide water surface, suits both kids who want to swim hard and little ones just getting used to the water. Individual admission is just 200 yen per hour, half price for Saga City residents, and half again for high schoolers and younger, making it an easy pool for families to visit often. In the morning, stop by the Sano Tsunetami Memorial Museum, a few minutes' drive from the pool, to learn the story of the Mietsu Naval Base Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next, head to the observation deck at Saga Kyushu International Airport to watch the runway and planes taking off and landing against the backdrop of the Ariake Sea. Past noon, enter the Saga City Sports Park Kawazoe Public Pool and spend the whole afternoon in the water. The route follows flat roads along the Ariake Sea, keeping travel short and driving easy. The pool is closed on Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a holiday), so be sure to check the day of the week before you go.
