Sakuragaoka Children's Water Play Area
About this spot
The Sakuragaoka Children's Water Play Area is a free children's water play spot that Minoh City opens only in summer. In 2026 it is open from Monday, July 20 to Monday, August 31, from 10:30 to 15:30, with a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00 and closure in rainy weather. It is for children in the third year of elementary school or younger, and a guardian must accompany them. Having lifeguards on duty is this spot's great strength, and together with the shallow water it brings real peace of mind the first time a small child goes into water. As a local facility run by the city, the crowds stay calm, and the scale suits families who want their summer water play without a long trip. Admission is free, so it is easy to drop in on the spur of the moment.

Tips
It closes for a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00, so do not plan anything that runs across those hours. It also closes in rainy weather, so on doubtful days check the Minoh City announcements before setting out. Since it is for children in the third year of elementary school or younger, families with older children should plan how they will spend the time separately. Assume there are no changing rooms: a wrap towel or poncho you can pull on over your clothes makes changing much smoother.
Best time to visit
Two hours, from 13:20 until closing at 15:30. It is relatively quiet right after the lunch break, so it is easy to pick a spot
