Michi-no-Eki Nishiyama Park (道の駅 西山公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This roadside station sits right next to Nishiyama Park. The first floor has space for shopping and dining, with Sabae local products and light meals available. It's just a short walk from the zoo, so there's little burden even when traveling with small children. Since the pool opens at 1:00 p.m., finishing an early lunch here lets you enjoy the longest possible water-play time in the afternoon. It's also a good place to stock up on drinks and snacks.

Tips

Open year-round, closed only during the New Year holidays. The dining area gets crowded around midday, so arriving a little before noon makes it easier to get a seat. It's reassuring to allow about 30 minutes for your body to settle after eating before heading to the pool. Business hours vary by shop, so check the official website for details.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes needed. Plan to finish eating in the early afternoon, before 1:00 p.m., so you're ready in time for the pool's 1:00 p.m. opening.
