Urakoji Park Mist Fountain

About this spot

The Urakoji Park Mist Fountain in Urakoji Park in Iwatsuki Ward, Saitama City. It usually operates from mid-July to late September (in 2026, roughly from Wednesday, July 15 to Wednesday, September 30) between 9:00 and 17:10. Mist is released for ten minutes starting on the hour, so watching the clock and counting down the minutes becomes a pleasure in itself for children (it may be unavailable due to cleaning or other reasons). Use is free, and because the mist fountain is integrated into the plaza, a major feature is that you can cool off in the mist without a swimsuit. Little changing is needed, and the ease of dropping by while walking around town is the charm of this water play spot. It is a perfect way to round off a walk through the castle town of Iwatsuki.

Tips

Mist is released only for ten minutes from the top of each hour, so working backward to set your arrival time keeps the wait short. It may be unavailable due to cleaning or other reasons, so checking the day's status with the Saitama City Park and Green Space Association information is reassuring. Even mist gets you surprisingly wet, so bring a change of clothes and a towel. The ground becomes wet and slippery, so watch your footing when running around.
