Kotodai Park Relaxation Zone Wall Fountain

About this spot

This is the free Kotodai Park Relaxation Zone Wall Fountain in the relaxation zone of Kotodai Park, Aoba Ward, Sendai. Water falls like a waterfall down a stone wall, and you can cool off by touching the water in front of it. Around it are flower beds, an open space and an open-air concert hall, so you can switch between strolling and sitting down to rest between rounds of water play, which is the charm of a park in the middle of the city. There is a kiosk, a cafe and toilets, so drinks and snacks are easy to top up and there is no trouble finding somewhere to change. Sitting directly above Kotodai-koen Subway Station, the trip home is easy even with wet luggage.

Season & hours

Tips

The opening period has not been announced, and it is usually run during the summer holidays. Check the City of Sendai's information for the day's status before you set out. The open space may be unavailable on event days, so checking the schedule for large events is reassuring. The stone is slippery when wet, so water shoes that protect your feet are reassuring. Even where the water is shallow, never take your eyes off children and always have an adult accompany them. For changing clothes, the accessible toilets in the underground shopping arcade or nearby facilities offer more room than the park toilets.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 50 minutes. The afternoon, when the sunlight softens, is recommended.
