Nonoshita Waterside Park Water Channel (野々下水辺公園 親水水路)

About this spot

This is the free water play spot known as the Nonoshita Waterside Park Water Channel (野々下水辺公園 親水水路) in Nagareyama City (流山市). Its charm is that you can walk right into the channel, and because it never gets deep like a pond, even small children new to water can get used to it at their own pace. According to Nagareyama City, the water runs from 8:00 to 18:00 in summer, 8:00 to 17:00 in autumn and 9:00 to 16:00 in winter, and the flow is managed by the Tone River Downstream River Office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. No opening period is stated, so please check before you set out. The opening period has not been announced, and in past years it has been open during the summer holidays. In summer the water runs until 18:00, so one of the good things about this park is that you can drop by in the evening just to cool off.

Tips

The opening period has not been announced, so always check the Nagareyama City information before you go. The bottom of the channel is stone and concrete, so water shoes that stay on your feet are reassuring. In summer the water runs until 18:00, so the evening hours when the sunlight softens are the sweet spot. Do not count on a changing room; prepare to change in a restroom or in the shade and you will not be caught out.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 30 minutes. After 15:00, when the sunlight softens, is especially pleasant, and in summer the water runs until 18:00
