Ogino Pool

During the summer break (obon yasumi) the weather was terribly hot. It is still hot somehow. I went further times to the municipal swimming pool at Ogino Sports Park. (Ogino undo koen). This is cheap 400¥ for an adult and a discount for a kid. Mines are even youngers so it is free for them, I think until elementary school.
There is a ticket machine which provide you a magnetic card to enter. You validate in and out. It helps counting the folks inside the pool. You will have the number on the top of the information counter. The day I found out about this information board, there were 75 peoples. The outside 50m pool is open only during the summer break. It was a heavy rainy day so most of the swimmers were in the inside 25m pool and I would say this is good enough. More would be too crowded for me
You can get a prepaid card. You pay 3000¥ and you get a 500¥ present. (2000¥+300¥ also available) This is the same money for residents and non-residents of Astugi-town.
Take the small plastic back to put your shoes in. The locker place has closing lockers. 10¥ needed that you can get back.
Babies need to be clean. No dipper, no swimming dipper. The outside pool is allowed for kids from elementary. Inside, you have a 30cm deep pool.
You can have any kind of swim suit. You must have a swim cap.

Something I never experienced in France, the safety break. Every one hour (...h20) you will be asked to leave the pool so the staff can check if nobody's diving... They check the temperature, acidity, dive and clean up the big stuffs (bandages, broken goggles, lost keys...)

The water is far to be perfectly clean but it is same level that what I could find in France. I did not mind, my wife did a little bit.

You also have individuals showers and a sauna.

If you forget your cap or goggles, they do not borrow. You can buy an Mizuno official product @ official prices. (~1000¥ the cap that you can get for 200¥ in any Department store)

Open from 9h30 to 20h20

Ogino Park - Jardin des plantes


Je ne sais en fait pas trop comment appeller l'endroit. Jardin des plantes, reserve naturelle... c'est un parc dans le parc ou on essaye de rassembler le maximum d'especes. On y flane facilement grace a une promenade en bois sur quasi tout le long.










Ogino Park (extra)


Mon post precedent sur le parc Ogino manquait d'une vue d'ensemble. Ces photos ont ete prises l'annee derniere mais vous ne m'en voudrez pas. Et puis c'est mieux en vert. La piscine n'est pas tres chere du genre 300~400¥, je ne me rappelle plus, desole. Toutes les heures, une pause, tout le monde sort et les maitres nageurs font un check-up complet. On regarde les filtres, au fond du bassin, releve des echantillons d'eau... a la japonaise, c'est a dire en pointant du doigt chaque action.
Dans mon prochain post, ca sera un petit close up sur le "jardin des plantes" qui surplombe le parc.

Attention aux singes!

Betes a bon dieu... a points blancs. Premiere fois pour moi.

Fujiyama Park


Loin du veritable et venerable Fujisan, le Fujiyama Park est un minuscule parc a flanc de colline. Il n'y a fondamentalement pas grand chose et donc pas grand monde. Ideal pour une retraite paisble. Paisible comme le monument de la paix, une grande tour associee a une statue d'enfants.
Pour ceux qui cherchent a bouger un peu plus, il est facile de se promener dans les alentours. Peu de circulation, un paysage pas trop monotone, peu de lotissements... tout juste bien pour une journee au vert sans se prendre la tete.




J'y suis alle l'automne dernier.

Ogino park


Ogino park est un parc relativement grand. Il regroupe de nombreuses installations sportives comme un stade d'athlétisme, une piscine (petit bassin exterieur et grand exterieur), une piste de jogging, des terrains de tennis, des jeux pour enfants (dont un grand toboggan), un parcours sante et une sorte de jardin des plantes (longue promenade a travers les bois).


Koboyama Park in Isehara


Hot spot for hiking. Looks famous, despite the cold weather, we could find many people walking around. We reach the place by noon. Everybody kind of stopped there to picnic.
There is a long course going from Isehara downtown to the top of Oyama. We just sopped by the closest parking and find our way there by luck. This spot as this "Lookout Platform" which gives a pretty wide view. In clear weather you can see the Fuji. Today was cloudy.

Aikawa Park


Good advice has to be followed. After the Miyagase Dam, the Aikawa park. It is a pretty amazing park with full of games. Tganks again for the tip. I should make a top 5 of the parks around. Atsugi is a good place for family. After one year here, just no regret.
