Sea Fountain

Flow of the course

About this spot

A large fountain in Moerenuma Park that runs at set times through the summer. The water does not simply rise; it changes height and shape to form a single flowing sequence, so you can watch from start to finish without losing interest. The whole park was created from a concept by the sculptor Isamu Noguchi, and you can sense that the fountain too was designed as part of the landscape. It is surrounded by wide lawns, so you can spread a picnic sheet in the shade, eat lunch, and wait in a relaxed way for the next run. Making time to simply watch water before the afternoon's water play helps little ones get ready.

Tips

The run times are fixed, so check them when you arrive and you will not miss it. There is little shade around the fountain, so hats and drinks are essential. The park is extremely large, so if you come by car, choose the parking lot closest to the fountain to cut down on walking. Spray can carry on the wind, so leave cameras and bags a little way off.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. Set your lunch time around the fountain's operating schedule and no time goes to waste
