Kitamachi Shimashima Park Water Theater (Fountain Plaza)

About this spot

The Kitamachi Shimashima Park Water Theater (Fountain Plaza) is located in Kitamachi Shimashima Park in Kita Ward, Saitama City. In 2026 it operates from Sunday, March 1 to Monday, November 30, from 11:00 to 20:00 (planned). The fountain shoots up for seven minutes starting on the hour, and watching the clock while asking how many minutes are left becomes a pleasure in itself for children (it may be unavailable due to cleaning or other work). Use is free, and the spacious park, covering 16,000 square meters, is equipped with restrooms and a lawn area. Its long nine-month operating season and its late hours until 20:00 are major features, making it a highly practical water play spot for a summer evening outing.

Tips

The jets run for only seven minutes starting on the hour, so working backward to set your arrival time keeps the wait short. It may be unavailable due to cleaning or other work, so checking the day's status with the Saitama City Park and Green Space Association information is reassuring. There is no mention of changing rooms, so wearing swimwear under your clothes is the sure approach. Temperatures drop after sunset, so bring an extra layer and plenty of towels.
