2026 Nukui Swimming Pool Full-Day Course

Open from Saturday, July 18 to Monday, August 31, 2026, this full-day course centers on Akiota Town's Nukui Swimming Pool. The venue sits in the mountains of the Chugoku range, close to Nukui Dam. At this elevated location, where a cool breeze blows through the valley, the feel of summer is completely different from that of the lowlands, even at the height of the season. It's an outdoor pool that local children attend during summer break, and while it doesn't have the bustle of a large leisure pool, that means you can enjoy the water in a calmer setting. In the morning, look up close at Nukui Dam, one of Japan's tallest arch dams, then pick up local ingredients and lunch at Roadside Station Raimu Togouchi before heading to the pool past midday. It's a combination unique to Akiota Town: the immensity of the dam, the greenery of the mountains, and water play. Note that the pool may close if a weather warning is issued, so on days when the forecast looks uncertain, check Akiota Town's information before you set out.
