Fully enjoy water play until evening in the seawater pool surrounded by breakwaters

About this spot

In 2026, Otobe Town's outdoor leisure pool operates from July 25 (Saturday) through August 23 (Sunday), 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The swimming pool uses seawater and is surrounded by breakwaters, so there's no worry about large ocean waves—even small children can safely enjoy water play. The sense of freedom while swimming close to the Sea of Japan is an experience you can't get at inland pools. With approximately 550 free parking spaces, you won't have to worry about parking even when arriving by car. Spend a summer vacation in Hokkaido enjoying spacious water play in harmony with the ocean.
