2026 Chubu Pool: A Full-Day Fun Course

This is a one-day course centered on Chubu Pool, Fujikawa Town's outdoor pool, open from 10:00 to 16:00, August 1 (Sat) through August 16 (Sun), 2026. Admission is free, and it's the kind of place that feels like a local summer tradition, open only for the two weeks spanning Obon. In the morning, browse local vegetables and specialty products at Michi no Eki Fujikawa, and take a breather taking in the view of the Southern Alps ridgeline. Next, head to Taihoshi Park, Fujikawa Town's best-known cherry blossom spot. From the elevated grounds you can look out over the flow of the Fuji River and the southern end of the Kofu Basin, and in summer the lush green trees create pleasant shade. After lunch, move to the pool and enjoy plenty of water play until 16:00. Since it's free to enter, you can head out on the spur of the moment with ease. It's a relaxed summer day, true to Fujikawa Town, a place surrounded by mountains and rivers.
