Nishikaigan Park (西海岸公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A park with pine forests and expansive lawns facing the Japan Sea, cherished by local residents. Since the aquarium and pool are on the same grounds, you can take a leisurely walk while using the travel time between facilities. As you walk through the shade while feeling the sea breeze, the atmosphere shifts from the aquarium interior to an open, refreshing mood. Benches are scattered throughout, serving as convenient rest spots to organize luggage or hydrate before entering the pool. Allowing small children to move their bodies a bit before water play helps them make a good mental transition and is a perfectly timed activity.

Tips

Choosing the shaded path along the pine forest allows for relatively cool walking even in summer. Confirming the location of the pool's changing rooms and lockers beforehand ensures smooth movement after entry.

Best time to visit

Approximately 30 minutes required. Just the right duration for a light stroll before entering the pool.
