Kudoyama Town Pool (九度山町民プール)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Kudoyama Town Pool is a municipal outdoor pool in Kudoyama, Wakayama Prefecture. In 2026 it is open from Saturday, July 18 to Thursday, August 20, and closed on Mondays. Admission is 200 yen for 4th graders and up, and free for 3rd graders and younger, making it an affordable outing for families. Located at the foot of Koyasan and surrounded by mountains, the breeze that sweeps through after getting out of the water feels wonderful, offering a completely different sensation from an urban outdoor pool. There are no flashy attractions like large slides, but that means fewer crowds, letting you spend the afternoon at your own pace: the real appeal of a town pool. Spending an afternoon mixed in with local children during summer vacation offers a kind of time you can't experience while traveling.

Season & hours

Tips

Closed on Mondays. Be sure to check the official Kudoyama Town website for opening hours, facility details, and same-day operating status. Since published information about facilities is limited, it's best to confirm whether items like floats are allowed by checking on-site signage or contacting the pool in advance. Swim caps are generally required. Even in the mountains the sun is strong, so bring a rash guard and sunscreen, and take breaks and hydrate often.

Best time to visit

Entering at 1:15 p.m. gives you more than 3 hours until evening. After 3 p.m., as mountain shadows begin to stretch, it starts to feel noticeably cooler.
