About this spot

Okayama City Higashiyama Pool is a summer-only outdoor pool in Naka-ku, Okayama. In 2026 it opens from July 20 to August 25. The main attraction is a large 50m x 22m pool - with this much space, it's easy to find room to swim even on crowded days. There is also a 20m x 10m children's pool where little ones can play freely in shallow water. Admission is affordable at 210 yen for adults, 150 yen for junior and senior high school students, and 100 yen for elementary school children and younger per session. Being close to the city center, this pool is also easy to combine with morning sightseeing.

Season & hours

Tips

The pool operates on a two-hour rotating entry system, so admission times are set in advance. Checking the day's rotation times on Okayama City's official information before you arrive can help reduce waiting. The two-hour session includes changing time, so it helps to head to the poolside early. Weekends during summer vacation get crowded, so plan to arrive with plenty of time to spare. The pool may close for the day depending on the weather.

Best time to visit

Entering with the afternoon rotation lets you use the full two hours for play.
