和歌山Big Wave, Water park in Wakayama, Japan
Wakayama Big Wave is a water park featuring multiple pools, slides, and recreation areas located near the coast. The complex includes both indoor and outdoor sections with varying depth levels and attractions designed for different age groups.
The facility opened in 1995 as part of efforts to develop Wakayama's tourism infrastructure along the Pacific coast. Since then it has become a popular recreation destination for both local visitors and tourists from the surrounding region.
The park incorporates Japanese bathing traditions with modern water entertainment, offering both indoor and outdoor bathing experiences throughout the year.
Equipment rental, towels, and lockers are available on-site along with separate changing areas for families and individual visitors. Plan time for arrival and changing, especially during peak periods on weekends and holiday seasons.
All pools maintain a constant temperature of 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year, allowing water activities regardless of outside weather. This consistent warmth makes swimming and relaxation comfortable even during cooler seasons.
