Nishitappu Park Water Play Area

About this spot

The Nishitappu Park Water Play Area is a shallow water play spot inside Nishitappu Park (錦多峰公園) in Tomakomai. It is usually open from Monday, June 1 to Monday, September 7, from 9:00 to 18:00, and the city of Tomakomai gives the season as early June to early September. Use is free, and because the water is shallow, even children who have just started walking can stand on their own feet and play. It stays open until 18:00, and being able to use the afternoon at an unhurried pace is the great advantage of this spot. The park sits in a residential area, so local children gather naturally, and it is common to see kids run off together with someone they met for the first time that day. There is no admission fee and no changeover of visitors, so play and rest can be repeated at the child's own pace.

Season & hours

Tips

Hours are 9:00 to 18:00, but the opening season shifts a little from year to year. Before you go, always check the current situation in the city of Tomakomai's information. It can also close for bad weather, cleaning, or water-quality management. Assume there are no changing rooms and wear swimwear underneath to make changing easy. Shade is limited, so bring a picnic sheet and hats, and also prepare a light layer to put on after getting out.

Best time to visit

Enter at 14:10 and you can play for more than three hours. The evening, when the sunlight softens, is the most comfortable time
