Chupi Pool



Chupi Pool, also known as "Chichiyas Pool ", located in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, is a leisure pool facility that has attracted many children over the years and is regarded as the No. 1 leisure pool in Hiroshima. Many people may feel nostalgic, thinking of how they used to go to this historic pool when they were children.

The variety of pools, including the old familiar flowing pool and wave-riding pool, as well as the recently built pool with a surprise bucket and diamond pool, are still going strong, and children are excited to play in them. The biggest attraction of all is the waterslide. The 120-meter-long Chupi Pool waterslide is so powerful that even adults can enjoy it. Of course, there is also a baby pool for small children and a small water slide, so even small children can have a lot of fun.



Tents and box seats are also available for a fee, and a wide variety of rental goods are available, so you don't have to worry about forgetting anything. Another attraction of Chupi Pool is that it is located near JR Maezora Station, so you can get there by train.

Central Park Family Pool



Located in the center of Hiroshima City, the Family Pool is also a very popular annual pool that is crowded with many children. It is probably the number one public pool in Hiroshima in terms of accessibility, as it is easily accessible by public transportation such as Hiroden, Astram Line, and buses.



The main attraction of this pool is that even relatively small children can safely enjoy the small children's pool and multipurpose pool, and the main pool is probably the 260-meter-long flowing pool. It is surprisingly enjoyable to take your time while being swept along with the children the whole time.

Many of the parents of today's generation must have been taken care of at the family pool as children, and this may bring back childhood memories. This is the perfect place for parents and children to create happy summer memories together.

Nippon Steel Aqua Park



The Nippon Steel Aqua Park (Futagawa Pool) in Kure City is another pool full of attractions and is one of the spots we recommend. Although the pool has been around for a long time, it was renovated relatively recently, and the facilities are generally clean and comfortable.



The main pool has a surprise bucket in the center, and periodically that bucket is tipped over and a large amount of water comes rushing in, making the children very excited. In addition, there is a pool that is considered safe for children as young as 0 years old, with shallow pools and small slides that even the youngest children can safely play in. This may be a good place for children who want to make their pool debut.

Another attraction of Aqua Park is that it is quite reasonable compared to other leisure pools, at 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children, making it a pocket-friendly pool even if you go back many times in the summer and play around a lot. It is a pool that will kill two birds with one stone, as the children will be very satisfied and it is also easy on the family budget.

Miroku-no-sato Leisure Pool



Miroku-no-sato is popular as the only amusement park in the prefecture, but the leisure pool that opens every summer is also a great pool filled with various attractions, and is fully enjoyed by children and adults alike.



"There is a hemispherical shaped dome called the shower dome "where you can jump around like a trampoline, and it is a revolutionary pool that can only be experienced in Miroku-no-sato in Hiroshima. The structure is such that if you use a rope to get to the top, water gushes out like a fountain at the top. If you are not careful, you can slide right down to the bottom, which is very exciting not only for children but also for adults.

There are also three types of water slides: "High Speed Slider ", "Normal Slider ", "Float Slider ", each with different ways to have fun, so you will never get bored. The high-speed slider in particular is too fast and over in a flash, but it is very powerful. There are also regular pools and a pool for babies, so even small children can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.



The great thing about Miroku-no-sato is that you can freely come and go between the pool and the amusement park, so you can play in the pool, go to the amusement park and enjoy the attractions, and then play in the pool again to finish off the day. The food corner is also well stocked, and the attraction of Miroku-no-sato is that it can be enjoyed by all three generations, so let's all make great summer memories together, grandparents included.

Innoshima Amenity Pool



The Innoshima Amenity Pool, located right next to the beach in Innoshima, Onomichi City, is also a very attractive place to visit. Not only is there a powerful waterslide that slides from a height of 9 meters, which is very popular among children as young as elementary school students, but there are also ramp slides and shallow pools for smaller children, so everyone can enjoy themselves.



In addition, the prices are reasonable, making it easy to go and have fun. However, the biggest attraction of this place is that there is a beach nearby. It is a great situation for children to be able to enjoy the pool and swimming at the same time. The kids will have so much fun playing in both the ocean and the pool that they will probably fall asleep in the car on the way home, exhausted, but they may still be playing in the pool and the ocean in their dreams,

There was a hiatus during the Corona season, but when it reopens, it is definitely one of my favorite pools to visit!

Fukuyama Memorial Park



Fukuyama Memorial Park in Fukuyama is another popular outdoor pool that attracts many people every year. It is a rare place that offers not only morning and afternoon pools, but also a nighttime pool. The nighttime pool has a different atmosphere than the daytime pool and is very interesting.

The pool itself is not that large, but there is a water slide, a flowing pool, a 25-meter pool, and a pool for toddlers, and children usually get a kick out of it. In particular, the waterslide here is not the winding type that is often seen, but a straight line that slides down, and its power is more impressive than expected.

The shower rooms and changing rooms have a retro atmosphere, and the pricing is extremely reasonable at 200 yen for children and 310 yen for adults (as of July 2022).



In addition to the swimming pool, Memorial Park also has an area where children can ride go-carts and a playground where they can play to their heart's content. The go-carts, in particular, are surprisingly authentic and may be a valuable experience for children. In winter, you can even go skating at Memorial Park, which is a fun place to visit even during the non-pool season.
