Plenty of water play at the reservation-only water park
About this spot
Jabujabu Pond in Nishiyama Park (西山公園) is a free water play area inside a lush, green park in Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture. In 2026 it operates from Sunday, April 26 to Sunday, September 6, entirely by reservation, with four time slots set between 9:30 a.m. and 5:10 p.m. (closed Mondays and Fridays). The shallow, well-maintained water is built so that even small children can play safely, and since it is surrounded by trees there is plenty of shade, making it a comfortable environment even on hot summer days. For families who want to spend a relaxed day close to home, it is a valuable water play spot you can drop by easily.
