◆Even small children will have fun in Umekoji Park with all their might at "Kids' Water Park".

New this year is the thrilling "Tropical Water Slide," a 5-meter-high slide down the hill! Children and their parents can also enjoy the thrill of screaming together.

For children who do not like heights, a smaller "Kids Slider" and an even smaller "Mini Slider" are also available. There are three sliders that can be enjoyed according to your preference, so you can take your time and enjoy the fun.

In the baby area for children under 3 years old, there is a shallow baby pool and an aqua toy that tickles their curiosity and challenging spirit with its water flow. This is the perfect place for small children to make their debut in the pool.

Everyone is invited to slay the "naughty dragon" together!

As a special treat for children playing with the water shooters and other equipment, a staff member dressed as a dragon will appear in front of the children and play a prank on them by spraying water all over them. While the dragon sprays water at the children, the children battle with water shooters (water guns) that they have purchased or brought with them. The children are excited by the splashing water and feel cooler as they are doused with a large amount of water, but they are also excited by the heated battles!
