About this spot

Nakatsugawa Public Pool in Nakatsugawa City is an outdoor pool open in 2026 from Tuesday, July 21 through Thursday, August 27. The main attraction is a large 50m, 6-lane pool, and swimming its full length end to end offers a sense of accomplishment quite different from a school pool. A separate 50m, 3-lane kiddie pool is also available, so young children who can't swim yet can enjoy the water with peace of mind. With the unpretentious atmosphere of a true community pool, it's a genuine picture of a local summer, filled with the voices of children on their summer break. Surrounded by mountains, Nakatsugawa has cool morning and evening air, and the breeze after getting out of the water is especially pleasant here.

Season & hours

Tips

Always check opening hours, closing days, and admission fees on Nakatsugawa City's website in advance. The pool may close on some days depending on weather or water temperature. Lockers often require coins, so bring 100-yen coins. Don't expect too much from the concession stand; bringing your own drinks and snacks is a safer bet. On days with strong sunlight, securing a shaded rest spot early makes the visit more comfortable.

Best time to visit

Entering at 1pm gives you about 3.5 hours until evening. After 3pm the sunlight softens, making it easier to swim.
