Yume Town Hatsukaichi

About this spot

This is a large shopping center in Shimohera, Hatsukaichi. It is very close to Shingu Central Park, which makes it an easy base before or after water play. Eating in the air-conditioned interior lets everyone reset before the heat of the afternoon. It is reassuring that you can pick up drinks and snacks here, along with any towels or changes of clothes you forgot to bring. Walking around the cool interior for a while after eating, then heading to the park, is easier on the body.

Tips

The dining area gets crowded at lunchtime, so shift your timing or arrive early to avoid the wait. Check opening hours on the official website. Buying extra drinks for the water play is a safe bet. Ask for a bag to carry your rubbish home; it comes in handy at the park.
