A quiet visit to an ancient temple with almost 800 years of history
About this spot
Nakayama Hokekyoji is a historic temple founded in the Kamakura period, with impressive buildings such as a five-storied pagoda and the Soshido hall standing in its wide grounds. Trees grow thick along the approach, and the air is so quiet and calm that it is hard to believe you are near the metropolitan area. The grounds are wide and well paved, easy to walk with a stroller, which is a welcome point for families. Pay your respects at an unhurried pace in the cool morning hours before heading to the pool.
Season & hours
Name: 市川市市民プール
Date & time: 夏季営業(令和8年度で閉鎖予定)
Venue: 市川市・市民プール(北方町)
市川市市民プールは、地域の親子に長く親しまれてきた市営の屋外プールです。2026年は7月18日(土)から夏季営業を開始し、地元密着ならではの落ち着いた雰囲気の中でゆったりと水遊びができます。派手なアトラクションこそありませんが、その分混雑しすぎず、小さな子ども連れでも安心して過ごせるのが魅力です。なお令和8年度をもって閉鎖が予定されているため、訪れるなら今シーズンが貴重な機会になります。
Tips
料金や設備の詳細、混雑状況は事前に市川市の公式サイトで確認しておくと安心です。夏休み期間の週末は地元の家族連れで賑わうため、開場直後の入場がゆったり過ごすコツです。北方町エリアは駐車場が限られるため、公共交通機関の利用も検討しましょう。
Tips
About a 10-minute walk from JR Shimosa-Nakayama Station or Keisei Nakayama Station. The grounds are large, so narrowing down which buildings you want to see keeps things smooth. A morning visit before the summer sun gets strong is recommended.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour. The cool morning hours are the most comfortable
