2026 Fukui Kenko no Mori Health Sports Center Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on Fukui Kenko no Mori Health Sports Center (an outdoor lazy river pool), open from Tuesday, July 21 to Monday, August 31, 2026, in Fukui City. During this period the facility is also open on Mondays. The star of the show is the 160-meter-long outdoor lazy river, open only in summer, simply drifting along with the current is plenty of fun, and even kids who aren't confident swimmers or younger children can enjoy it together. Indoors there is a 25-meter pool, a pool for young children, and two water slides measuring 46 meters and 126 meters, so it's reassuring to be able to move indoors when the sun gets too strong or the weather turns bad. Admission is 630 yen for adults and 250 yen for elementary and junior high school students, remarkably affordable given how well-equipped the facility is. In the morning, enjoy the greenery and views at Asuwayama Park (足羽山公園), which overlooks the city of Fukui, then experience Fukui's nature and geology at the Fukui City Museum of Natural History (福井市自然史博物館) before heading to the pool after noon. It's a day you can spend moving between indoors and outdoors, so it isn't easily affected by the weather.
