Kijo Park
About this spot
A park laid out on the site of Kariya Castle (刈谷城) and long loved by local residents. The water surface of the moat and the shape of the earthworks remain, and imagining how the castle was built as you walk is the fun of it. There is also playground equipment and an open space inside, so children may well be more absorbed in running around than in history. It is known for its cherry blossoms too, and its face changes with the seasons. Walking here while overlaying the Kariya Castle materials you saw at the museum onto the terrain that actually survives makes the history of this land easier for children to grasp.
Season & hours
Name: 刈谷市交通児童遊園 じゃぶじゃぶ噴水池
Date & time: 6/1 (Mon)–9/30 (Wed) 9:00–16:00 ※2026年は6/1 (Mon)から運用開始。水曜休園(祝日の場合は翌日)。8/6 (Thu)は設備修繕のため休止
Venue: 刈谷市・刈谷市交通児童遊園
刈谷市交通児童遊園にある無料の水遊び場、「刈谷市交通児童遊園 じゃぶじゃぶ噴水池」です。2026年は6月1日(月)から運用が始まり、9月30日(水)まで9:00〜16:00で利用できます。入園も水遊びも無料で、費用がかかるのは大型遊具の1回50円だけ。水に飽きたら遊具、遊具に飽きたらまた水と、子どもが自分のペースで遊び続けられるのがこの公園のよいところです。おむつ替え用ベッド・授乳室・AED・車いす用トイレが整っており、赤ちゃん連れや小さな子連れでも安心して長居できます。無料なので、夕方に少しだけ立ち寄る使い方もできます。
Tips
水曜は休園日です(祝日の場合は翌日が休み)。2026年8月6日(木)は設備修繕のため休止なので、この日は避けて計画してください。16:00までの運用なので、片付けと着替えの時間を逆算して15時半ごろには水から上がると落ち着いて帰れます。水遊び後は水道で体をよく流し、木陰で休憩をはさみながら遊ぶと熱中症を防げます。おむつが取れていない子には水遊び用おむつを用意してください。
Tips
Some spots have little shade, so do not forget a hat and drinks. Parts of the moatside have no railing, so hold small children's hands as you walk. Keeping it to a light walk in the morning leaves everyone with energy for the afternoon water play.
Best time to visit
About 45 minutes. The morning, when the sunlight is gentler, is recommended
