About this spot

This is the leading large shopping complex in the Wasada district of Oita City, only a short drive from Nanasegawa Nature Park. With a food court and restaurants on hand, families will appreciate being able to choose lunch to suit what the children like. At the grocery section you can pick up drinks, ice and snacks for the afternoon in the water all at once. Cooling off in the air-conditioned building helps you hold up better under the blazing afternoon sun. Sunscreen or sandals you forgot to pack can also be found here.

Tips

Arriving for lunch before noon makes it easier to get a food court seat. Buy ice and cold packs last and take them straight to the cooler box so they melt more slowly. If you plan to return after water play, changing clothes first makes the visit more comfortable.
