Chikusa Fureai Park Fountain

About this spot

This is the free water play spot known as the Chikusa Fureai Park Fountain in Chikusa Fureai Park in Ichihara City (市原市). The fountain runs from July 1 (Wed) to August 31 (Mon), during the hours from 9:15 to 11:00. The starting time is clearly fixed, so the trick to using this park is to arrive in time for the start and begin playing when it is least crowded. The park also has a lawn plaza, a roller slide and a combination play structure, so the fun does not stop once the fountain shuts off. There is no charge, so a short visit just for water play is easy too. Being able to finish in the morning and avoid the daytime summer heat is actually convenient when you have small children.

Tips

The running time is limited to 9:15 until 11:00, so no water comes out after 11:00. Dates and times can change, so check the park information for the day before you set out. The area around the fountain becomes wet and slippery, so remind children not to run and have them wear water shoes or sandals. After 11:00 the sunlight gets strong, so change clothes in the shade before moving on to the play equipment.
