1. Pool Kingdom Highlights
Up to About 30 Meters of Waterslides Overlooking Fukuoka City
A large waterslide area, the "Big Water Dive & Double Lane Slider," is part of the lineup. These slides are open to guests age 6 and up or at least 110 cm tall.
An Athletic Pool Even Young Children Can Enjoy Safely
A compact but thrilling athletic pool area features a smaller slide, a roofed pool to help prevent heatstroke, a ball pool, water guns, and more. This area is open to children under 6 (children under 4 must be accompanied by a guardian).
A Full Schedule of Events on the Special Stage
Watermelon-splitting, a shaved-ice eating contest, a sandal-throwing contest, and other events for kids are held throughout the run, with an MC keeping the stage lively and prizes on offer. It's an event the whole family can enjoy together.
A Night Pool With Views of Fukuoka's Night Skyline Every Saturday
Night Pool runs from 7:00 to 9:00 PM every Saturday, offering a chance to swim while taking in a night view from Mt. Aburayama that can only be seen this time of year. Night Pool admission is available only as a day-of ticket.
Kitchen Cars Serving Popular Food Every Day
With cooperation from Kitchen Car Community Fukuoka, a lineup of kitchen cars offers summer favorites like shaved ice along with fried chicken, takoyaki, fries, and other food, so guests can grab a bite right at the pool.
A Free Lottery and Activities for Kids
With cooperation from SoftBank Corp., a free lottery offers prizes including discount coupons and cider for use at the kitchen cars, along with various other prizes. A super-ball scooping game and other hands-on activities for children are also available.
A Family Car Display
With cooperation from Fukuoka Toyota Motor Corporation, popular Toyota vehicles will be on display. A coloring activity is also planned, with an original snack box gift for participants — and the winning artwork may be chosen to appear on the lead car of the Fukuoka Marathon 2026. Display dates: July 18 to 19, August 1 to 2, and August 22 to 23.
