Yamanoshita Wave Pool

The Yamanoshita Wave Pool is a wonderful place to take younger children on a hot Niigata summer day.  The facility has three shallow pools that are kept cool and clean, and all are watched over by multiple lifeguards.  All younger children are provided with an orange swimming cap that they must wear so as to be easily visible to staff members.

One of the pools creates waves several times a day, which is a lot of fun for kids to ride on and splash in, so don't forget to bring a pool tube.  The price to enter the Yamanoshita Wave Pool is 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children up to junior high school age.  The pool is open only in the summer time, from July 9 until September 4.
