2026 Aga-machi Tsugawa B&G Marine Center Pool One-Day Course

This one-day course centers on Aga-machi Tsugawa B&G Marine Center Pool (阿賀町津川B&G海洋センタープール) in Aga, Higashikanbara District, typically open from late July through mid-August. It features a 25m x 6-lane main pool and a 6m x 10m kiddie pool, so kids wanting to practice swimming and little ones not yet used to the water can each have their own space. Set in the mountains along the Agano River, this spot avoids the crowds you'd find at a large leisure pool, making it a great place for families to enjoy the water at their own pace. In the morning, start at the Fox Wedding House (狐の嫁入り屋敷), a facility introducing Tsugawa's long-held legend of fox-fire and the Fox Wedding Procession, complete with a corner where kids can try fox makeup, an experience that leaves a strong impression. Next, move on to Roadside Station Aga no Sato (道の駅 阿賀の里) for lunch while watching the Agano River flow by. After midday, head into Aga-machi Tsugawa B&G Marine Center Pool and spend time splashing around until evening. It's a course that lets you soak up the atmosphere of Tsugawa, a town that once thrived as a post town on the Aizu Kaido.
