A beautiful 50M lap pool that's 2M deep all the way along, except for a few meters at 1.5 so you can stand at one end. If you don't speak any Japanese like myself, it's a bit hard to navigate through. The entry to the center is down a long wide ramp and under the glass pyramid. You purchase an entry ticket at an automated kiosk much like the metro. Swim ticket is 600Y. Then it's through the gift shop to the locker rooms, where you wander around until you find the doors through the showers to the pool. As with many international city pools, a swim cap is required. The lockers have wrist bracelet keys that you take with you. To enable them, slide your entry card from the kiosk into the slot on the back side of the locker lock. Close the door and take the key with you. 😀 Lanes are marked slow to...

700 yen for 2.5 hours of access to the gym and/or pool.

Buy a ticket at the machines on the left when you enter the building and use that ticket to enter through the gates AND as a locker key (put the ticket as instructed on the locker door, close the door and take your key with you). You’ll also need that ticket to exit the gates.

There’s a 25 meter and 50 meter pool for open lap swimming with clear instructions on lane etiquette.

Tattoos are allowed at the pools! But take off your earrings and watches and wear a swim cap. Pool is at a toasty 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

They have shower stalls, sit down stalls, and baths. Hair dryers are available for use but bring your own soap and towels...
