Take a break in the streamside space along the Shakujii River
About this spot
Otonashi Shinsui Park was created to make the most of the ravine that the Shakujii River (石神井川) once carved here. Shallow streams and small waterfalls are set through the grounds, and simply walking the tree-lined paths feels cool and refreshing. Although it is only steps from Oji Station, its quiet atmosphere makes you forget you are in the city. With plenty of benches, it is just right for a short rest before heading to the heated pool.

北区立元気ぷらざの温水プールは、通年営業している屋内型のプールです。営業時間は午前9時から午後9時までで、最終入場は午後8時30分、遊泳は午後8時50分まで受け付けています。屋内施設のため天候や気温に左右されず、春から秋にかけての水遊びシーズン以外でも安心して利用できるのが大きな魅力です。地域の親子連れが日常的に利用する公共施設で、近所感覚で気軽に立ち寄れるのも嬉しいポイントです。午後からゆっくり入って、夕方まで泳いだり水遊びをしたりと自分たちのペースで楽しめます。
Tips
利用料金や貸出用品の有無は施設により異なるため、訪問前に公式サイトで最新情報を確認しておくと安心です。混雑しやすい時間帯があるため、余裕を持ったスケジュールで訪れましょう。ロッカーの利用方法や更衣室の混雑状況も事前にチェックしておくとスムーズです。
Tips
It is a few minutes on foot from the north exit of Oji Station, and most of the paths are easy to walk even with a stroller. In summer you will see children playing in the shallows, but some spots are slippery, so do not take your eyes off them. There is also a rest area nearby where you can eat and drink.
Best time to visit
About 45 minutes. Walking here in the cool morning hours feels especially pleasant
