Flow of the course

About this spot

Located in Hiramatsu-Honcho, Utsunomiya, this water feature at Hiramatsu-Honcho Inari Children's Park is a free spot for relaxed play in a residential neighborhood. For the 2026 season, it operates from Saturday, July 18 to Sunday, August 30, between 10:00 and 16:00. The park has a pavilion (azumaya) where you can rest in the shade, a reassuring feature in summer. There are also swings, so kids can keep playing while drying off after the water. It's within easy reach after sightseeing in the town center, and since it's free, even a short visit feels easy to fit in.

Season & hours

Tips

It will be closed on July 29 and August 26 for regular cleaning, so the water won't be flowing those days-plan your visit around them. Bare feet are not allowed in the water, so bring water sandals that won't easily come off. Shade is limited outside the pavilion, so take breaks and stay hydrated regularly. Closures can also happen suddenly due to weather, so check the City of Utsunomiya's information page for the day's status before heading out.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours. Afternoon is recommended as the sun softens, with play possible until closing at 16:00
