One of the Largest Leisure Pools in Kobe City Opens for the Season Rokko

On July 8, “Water Park Dekapathos” (Higashinada-ku, Kobe) on Kobe’s Rokko Island will open for the season. It will be open until September 10 this year.

Dekapathos” is known as one of the largest leisure pools in Kobe. The pool features a wide variety of facilities, including a “flowing pool,” where the water flows like a natural river and it is pleasant just to relax and swim, a “body slide,” where you slide down while drawing height differences of more than 10 meters, and a “river ride,” where you ride down a 118-meter-long course on a special large tube. The “Bodyslide” and the “River Ride” are also available. The Bodyslide and River Slide are free of charge.

There is also a “Fureai Water Play Pool,” where the depth of water is kept at 25 cm and 50 cm so that even young children can get to know the water safely.
Advance tickets, which can be easily purchased via smartphone, will be available on the official website from July 1. ＜A word from the reporter:
Dekapathos is a place where children and adults alike can enjoy playing in the water to their heart’s content! I am looking forward to taking care of parents and children again this year (laughs).
