Enjoy Hawaiians on a day trip

To enjoy Hawaiians on a day trip, first make sure you check out the free rest area

Hawaiians has few benches or chairs to rest on by the pool, and laying out picnic sheets is prohibited

During peak times, the park can be full before noon, so if possible, enter as soon as it opens and head to the rest area. Depending on how crowded it is, the free rest areas on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors will be opened. It's a good idea to lay down a picnic blanket to reserve a spot.
You can also eat lunch in the rest areas, so my family always buys pizza or hamburgers from the food court, or ramen or curry rice from the free rest area on the 2nd floor, and then rests there.
It's especially recommended if you have small children, as you can let them nap or take turns going to the pool.

Stay and enjoy Hawaiians

Hawaiianz has hotels such as Hotel Hawaiianz Monolith Tower and Willport right next door, so guests can go back and forth in their swimsuits! Of course, you can play in the pool before and after check-in. You can also bring your hotel sandals and towels, so you don't need to bring any luggage, which is another great point.

Hawaiianz is open until 9:30 PM. Enjoying Hawaiianz at night is a privilege reserved for hotel guests.
I recommend the evening Grand Stage Show. It's spectacular and you won't be able to take your eyes off it from beginning to end!

Additionally,the "Large Open-Air Bath Edo Jowa Yoichi,"a projection mapping show is held at night, creating a fantastical space where the real world and the Edo period merge.

What to bring and what to be careful of at Hawaiians　

What can I rent?

Swimsuits and swim rings are available for rental. Inflatable ring pumps are also available

Do I need beach sandals or a towel?

Shoes are not allowed poolside, but since you'll be walking long distances and going up and down stairs a lot at Hawaiianz, it's a good idea to bring flip-flops.
Also, while the temperature is set at 28 degrees Celsius year-round, giving you a tropical feel, the air conditioning inside the building is quite strong. In winter, the outside air comes in, and it can get cold if you're still in your wet swimsuit. It's a good idea to bring a towel to the poolside so you can dry yourself off if you get chilled.

How do I pay?

You can pay inside the building with cash, electronic money such as nanaco and WAON, and credit cards.
It's also a good idea to have some change ready for lockers and vending machines. There are also coin lockers available that allow unlimited access.

Can babies go in the pool?

The children's pool zone, "Waiwai Ohana," has a pool called "Angel's Water Pool" for babies who are not yet potty-trained. Babieswearing swim diapers can use it. There are also diaper changing and breastfeeding areas nearby.
