Genwadai Coastal Park Sea Pool

Flow of the course

About this spot

This outdoor leisure pool in Otobe Town operates in 2026 from Saturday, July 25 to Sunday, August 23, open 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It's a swimming pool that uses seawater enclosed by a breakwater, with no worry of the large waves you'd find in the open sea, making it appealing for small children to enjoy water play safely. The sense of openness from swimming while feeling the Sea of Japan up close is an experience you can't get at an inland pool. With about 550 free parking spaces, there's no need to worry about parking even if you arrive by car. It's a chance to spend a free, expansive water-play time as one with the sea, quintessentially Hokkaido summer vacation.
