Kenminkaihin Park

Kenminkaihin Park, Seaside park in Kanazawa, Japan

Kenminkaihin Park sits on the Japan Sea coastline with walking paths, picnic areas, and recreation facilities positioned near the Saigawa River mouth. The grounds include playgrounds, trails for strolling, and refresh stands where visitors can spend time by the water.

The site was originally a training ground owned by the Ministry of the Army and became Kanazawa city land after the war. In 1971 Ishikawa Prefecture developed the park as a project commemorating the centenary of the prefectural administration, acquiring part of the city land, national seaside land and some private land. Since 2006 the T&A limited liability partnership has managed it under the prefecture's designated manager system.

The park's name, Kenmin, means "prefectural people," reflecting that Ishikawa Prefecture opened and runs it, not the city. Its forests carry names such as Enoki Forest, Walnut Forest and False Acacia Grove, and the Sasa-goi Pond by the Saigawa has a birdwatching hut. The nine outdoor pools, including a 50 m pool and a wave pool, operate from 1 July to 31 August.

The outdoor pool operates only from July 1 to August 31 each year. By car, take the Kanazawa-nishi Interchange of the Hokuriku Expressway and continue about five minutes; by bus, ride 20 minutes from the west exit of JR Kanazawa Station and get off at Kaigan Koen-guchi. During the summer pool season, extra buses run from the station to the pool entrance.

The park's birdwatching hide overlooks the Sasa-goi Pond beside the Saigawa River, a spot named after the striated heron. From here visitors can watch wild birds without disturbing them. The park also has nine outdoor pools, including a 50-metre pool and a flowing pool, open from 1 July to 31 August.
