Chubu Pool (中部プール)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Chubu Pool is an outdoor pool that Fujikawa Town opens only during the summer. In 2026, it will be open from 10:00 to 16:00, August 1 (Sat) through August 16 (Sun). It's open for just a short two-week period spanning Obon, making it feel like something local children look forward to in the middle of summer vacation. Admission is free, which is a major draw, you can head out on the spur of the moment and come back as many times as you like. There are no flashy facilities, but the feeling of getting into the water surrounded by mountain scenery is special. Since it's a place where local families gather, it can also be a time for travelers to feel the everyday atmosphere of the area.

Season & hours

Tips

Admission is free. The opening period is short, 10:00 to 16:00 from August 1 to August 16, so check the schedule carefully when planning. It may be closed due to weather or water temperature, so it's safest to check with the town's information before heading out. A swim cap is often required, so bring enough for everyone in your group. Assume there is no shop, and bring drinks and light snacks with you. Shaded space is limited, so having towels or something to wear over your shoulders will keep you comfortable.

Best time to visit

About 3 hours 20 minutes needed. Entering after midday lets you enjoy a relaxed time through to closing
