About this spot

The Oji Town Oji Minami Compulsory Education School Taishi Gakusha Pool is an initiative that opens the school pool to the community for part of the summer vacation. In 2026, it's open from Saturday, August 1 to Monday, August 10, and use is free. True to a school pool, it has a modest, understated layout, and alongside serving children who want to swim properly, there's also a mini pool for younger children who are still getting used to the water. Unlike a pool at a tourist facility, this is a place where local children gather as an extension of everyday life, so a relaxed, summer-vacation atmosphere flows through it. Spending the afternoon here, as if you were a local resident, makes for a different kind of memory than a leisure pool at a tourist destination.

Season & hours

Tips

The opening period is short, only 10 days from August 1 to 10, so decide your schedule early. Be sure to check Oji Town's official information for opening hours, rules of use, the age range covered, and whether guardians need to accompany children. As this is a school facility, preparations following school rules -- such as wearing a swim cap -- may be required. It's also a good idea to check in advance whether parking is available, so you're not scrambling on the day.

Best time to visit

Entering at 1:00 p.m. gives you about 2 hours 30 minutes until evening. School pools have little shade, so take breaks frequently
