Omiya Hana-no-Oka Agricultural and Forestry Park Water Play Plaza (Jabu-Jabu Pond)

About this spot

The Water Play Plaza (Jabu-Jabu Pond) at Omiya Hana-no-Oka Agricultural and Forestry Park in Nishi Ward, Saitama City. In 2026 it is open from Monday, July 20 to Monday, August 31, from 9:00 to 16:00 (it may be unavailable for cleaning and similar reasons). Use is free, and the grounds have restrooms plus a flower food hall shop and a restaurant, so a big advantage is spending the day without worrying about drinks or meals. The open setting surrounded by flower fields also lets you enjoy a stroll between rounds of water play. Just check in advance that pets are not allowed. It is open for only a month and a half over the summer holidays, so lock in the day you want to go early.

Tips

There are days when it is unavailable due to cleaning and similar reasons, so if you are coming from far away it is reassuring to check the park's official website for the day's status. Pets are not allowed. No changing room is listed, so wearing swimwear under clothes is the sure approach. After water play, wash feet well at a tap, and take breaks in the shade as you play. It ends at 16:00, so starting to pack up around 3:30 p.m. leaves plenty of room to head home.
