About this spot

The Himawari no Oka Park Playable Fountain (ひまわりの丘公園遊べる噴水) is a free water-play facility in Himawari no Oka Park in Ono City, with fountain and mist features. In 2026 it operates from Wednesday, April 29 to Wednesday, September 30, from 10:00 to 16:30. The operating days are set by season: daily from April 29 to May 6 and from Saturday, July 18 to Monday, August 31, and weekends and public holidays only from Saturday, July 4 to Sunday, July 12 and from Saturday, September 5 to Wednesday, September 30. Because it runs for 10 minutes and pauses for 5 minutes over and over, a natural rhythm of resting and drinking during the pauses forms, so even small children can spend a long time here without strain. Operation is suspended in unsettled weather, so check the forecast and operating status before you set out.

Tips

Admission is free. Changing space is limited, so wear swimsuits under clothes on the way and plan to dry off with a towel and change for the trip home. Bringing one plastic bag per person for wet clothes makes the trip home more comfortable. Using the 5-minute pauses to return to the shade and drink lets you play while preventing heatstroke. Operation ends at 16:30, so get into the water by mid-afternoon at the latest.
