Kids in Japan waited the whole year for Summer to come. Summer means pool time, in school, and outdoor swimming pools and water parks.
I took my kids to visit one of the public pools in Hamamatsu. The Kamezaki family land pool, it is located right next to Hamanako bridge.
We came on a public holiday, the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympic 2020, plus the beginning of Summer break for school kids. It was a very hot day, and many people wanted to cool off by getting in the pool. Because of the Corona pandemic, Kamezaki family land pool management is taking some measures to prevent the spread of Corona. One of them is by letting the visitors in little by little, so there won't be any congestion in the pool.
We had to wait patiently outside for about one hour until we can enter the pool. It was worth the wait. The Kamezaki family land pool area is pretty big. There are several swimming pools, shallow pools for little kids, and a deep pool for adults. Some pools have slides according to visitor's age.
There are many lifeguards around the pool. Even so, 2nd grader kids and younger ones must be accompanied by an adult guardian. There are many rules in the pool area. The most common rule in the Japanese pools is no visible tattoo is allowed. But if you can cover it by wearing a rash guard, then it's ok.
Kamezaki family land pool has a 10 minutes break time every hour. During break time, everybody has to get out of the water and wait around the pool. I think it's a good idea, as a safety measure so swimmer doesn't get foot cramped for swimming too long.
Ticket entrance is 150yen for students and 310 for adults.
Pool operating hours: 9:30-17:00 (July 21st ～ August 31st)
Closed on August 2nd、6th、16th、23rd、30th.
