2026 Hirobaru Children's Pool Full-Day Course

This is a half-day course centered on Hirobaru Children's Pool (広原児童プール) in Miyazaki City, which in 2026 is open from Thursday, July 23 to Monday, August 24, from 10am to 12pm. Measuring 10 meters by 20 meters with depths of 30cm and 50cm, this children's pool is free of charge. Because the shallow depths are clearly divided, even small children just starting out with water play can stand and play on their own feet. Since the opening hours are limited to just two hours in the morning, how you spend the time before and after shapes how fulfilling the day feels. In this course, you enjoy the coolness of the trees at Kota Shrine (巨田神社) in Saitobaru in the morning, then browse local products at Shiro no Eki Iroha-kan (城の駅いろは館) at Saitobaru Castle Ruins (佐土原城跡), before heading to the pool right at 10 o'clock. Getting your water play done in the morning is a smart, summer-savvy way to spend the day, letting you stay somewhere cool during the hottest hours. It's closed on Wednesdays and from August 13 to 15, so check before deciding which day to go.
