2026 Peace Park Leisure Pool One-Day Adventure Course

This one-day course centers on Aqua Zone Kushira, the leisure pool at Peace Park in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture, which runs from Sunday, July 19 to Sunday, August 30, 2026. As the prefecture's largest leisure pool, it's fully equipped with a 200m lazy river, a 76m waterslide, and a toddler pool with a fountain and waterfall. Lockers, showers, and hair dryers are all provided, and there's a shop too, so you don't have to worry about facilities. Admission is 520 yen for adults 18 and up, 310 yen for elementary, junior high, and high school students, 210 yen for toddlers 3 and up, and free under age 3. It's surprising how affordable this is for such facilities. In the morning, visit the Tojin Kofun Burial Mounds in Higashikushira Town, the largest burial mound cluster on the Osumi Peninsula, a unique sight, with large and small mounds scattered across the farmland. Next, head to the roadside station Michi-no-Eki Kuni no Matsubara Osaki, which has both a farmers' market and a food court, letting you take care of lunch and shopping at once. Burial mounds, a roadside station, and a large pool, a day on the Osumi Peninsula.
