Osu Disaster Prevention Park Jabujabu Pond / Water Play Channel

About this spot

This is Osu Disaster Prevention Park Jabujabu Pond / Water Play Channel, a free water-play area in Osu Disaster Prevention Park in Ichikawa City. A water play channel runs near the central plaza, and because it is shallow with a gentle current, even small children new to water can get used to it at their own pace. A roofed rest shelter stands right beside it, so families can keep watch out of the sun, which is a real help. The opening period has not been announced; in most years it opens during the summer holidays. The city's official page does not list the dates either, so please check with the park management office (047-379-3577) before you go. The park is normally maintained as a disaster-preparedness facility, so playing here is also a chance for parents and children to learn about a place to go if the worst happens.

Tips

The opening period has not been announced, so be sure to check with the park management office (047-379-3577) before setting out. The roofed rest shelter is popular, so securing a spot early makes for a comfortable stay. Do not count on changing rooms; plan to change in a restroom or in the shade. The channel is shallow, so sunlight hits you directly there, and a rash guard and hat will protect your skin.
