2026 Shonan Coast Park Pool: A Full One-Day Course

This is a one-day course centered on Shonan Coast Park Pool in Hiratsuka City, open from Monday, July 27 to Sunday, August 16, 2026. It's a seasonal outdoor pool inside Shonan Coast Park, which faces Sagami Bay, and its biggest draw is its location right by the sea. You can enjoy the water with the sea breeze on your skin, without having to worry about waves or currents, so it's a reassuring spot to visit even with small children. Since the opening period is only about three weeks, plan your visit early. In the morning, enjoy exhibits on the Sagami River and the formation of the land, along with the starry sky in the planetarium, at the Hiratsuka City Museum, then take in the view of Sagami Bay and the Tanzawa mountains from the Shonan-daira observation deck before heading to the pool past noon. It's a course that ties together Hiratsuka's town, sea, and mountains in a single day. Fees follow Hiratsuka City's facility usage rates, so check the official information before heading out.
