About this spot

Ehara Park Splash Pool (江原公園 じゃぶじゃぶ池) is a free water-play spot at Ehara Park (江原公園) in Nakano Ward. In 2026 it operates from Saturday, July 18 to Sunday, August 16, from 10:00 to 16:00, in two sessions: 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-16:00. The pool covers 50 square meters with a water depth of about 35 cm, making it one of the larger pools in the ward, so kids can play freely even on crowded days. The water is tap water, refreshed daily and chlorine-treated, so you can let your children play with peace of mind about hygiene. It's within walking distance of Philosopher's Park, which makes it convenient to plan together with your morning stroll. Admission is free.

Season & hours

Tips

The pool closes on rainy days or when the water temperature is 22°C or below. Before you head out, check the operating status on Nakano Ward's official website or the on-site signage. It's closed from 12:00 to 13:00 for changeover. At a depth of 35 cm, the water can come up to chest height on a small child when seated, so keep a close watch. Bodies cool down after getting out of the water, so it's reassuring to bring something to put on. Having your child wear water shoes helps prevent foot injuries.

Best time to visit

Even if you arrive at 14:00, you'll still get a full 2 hours of play until closing at 16:00.
