Flow of the course

About this spot

The Hamana Elementary School Pool (Temporary Opening) is a temporary public opening of a school pool run by Hamamatsu City, taking place from Sunday, July 26 to Friday, August 14 in 2026. It's an initiative that opens the pool normally used by students to the community only during summer break, and there's no charge to use it. There aren't facilities like a large leisure pool, but that also means no crowds, letting your family enjoy the water at your own pace alongside neighborhood kids. There's also a certain nostalgic charm unique to a school pool, worth savoring in itself. You can visit as many times as you like during summer break, making it actually a great spot for kids who want to practice getting used to the water.

Season & hours

Tips

Since this is a temporary opening, the days and hours it's open change year to year. Be sure to check Hamamatsu City's announcements for that day's status before heading out. School pools often require swim caps, so it's reassuring to bring one for each family member. Follow the lifeguards' instructions, and a parent must always accompany small children. Shaded facilities are limited, so bringing a leisure sheet, towels, and something to cover up with will help you stay comfortable. There are no shops nearby, so bring your own drinks.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 20 minutes. If you enter in the afternoon, you can play until the sunlight softens later in the day.
