Water Encounter Plaza Jabujabu Pond

About this spot

This is the Water Encounter Plaza Jabujabu Pond in Chuo Ward, Saitama City. In 2026 it runs from Wednesday, July 1 to Wednesday, September 30. The plaza is open 9:00 to 17:00, while the Jabujabu Pond closes at 16:30. It is unavailable on Friday, July 24 for cleaning, and also suspended during bad weather and cleaning work. Alongside the Jabujabu Pond there is a gateball court, making this a familiar neighbourhood plaza used daily by local residents. Admission is free and pets are not allowed. There is none of the depth of a swimming pool, so it is safe even for small children, and since it stays open across three months you can also choose to visit in the lingering heat of September rather than midsummer.

Tips

It is unavailable on Friday, July 24 for cleaning. Please plan around that date. It is also suspended during bad weather and cleaning work, so check the day's status on the official Saitama City website before heading out. Note that the Jabujabu Pond closes at 16:30, thirty minutes earlier than the plaza itself. Pets are not allowed. After playing in the water, wash feet thoroughly at the tap and take frequent breaks while playing.
