Kawamoto Town Pool (川本町民プール)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Kawamoto Town Pool is located at Kawamoto Park in Kawamoto Town, Ochi District, Shimane Prefecture, and typically operates from Sunday, July 19 to Monday, August 24. It consists of a 50m outdoor pool and a small pool with a slide, so kids who can swim well can swim properly, while little ones can play on the slide, each finding their own spot. Admission is very affordable at 50 yen for toddlers, 110 yen for elementary and junior high school students, and 220 yen for high schoolers and up, making it a place local kids visit all summer long. Set in a quiet town along the Gonokawa River, it has a relaxed atmosphere quite different from pools in the city. Not being overly crowded, and being able to spend time at your own pace, is its greatest appeal.

Check the town's information in advance for opening hours and closed days. Swim caps may be required in the 50m pool. Don't expect much from the concession stand, so it's reassuring to bring your own drinks.
