Wild Blue Yokohama, Yokohama-Shi

Wild Blue Yokohama is an indoor theme park that celebrates the "wild" blue sea, featuring several large pools, an immense seascape, and many restaurants. The indoor "big bay" has regularly scheduled man-made waves for bodysurfing. Didn't bring your body board? Never fear, a body board set can be rented for JPY1,900. In addition to the bodysurfing periods, the Big Bay is also used for designated periods as a "regular beach," complete with smaller waves for casual swimming and beach-ball games. Basically, Wild Blue Yokohama consists of three areas: the water activities area, a relaxation corner, and a restaurant and cafe area. In addition to the Big Bay, the water activities area includes six waterslides in the Old Rum Factory, a leisurely water ride called the Water Way, a shallow Kiddies Lagoon for toddlers, and a Party Lagoon, which is the only area not in the environmentally controlled park and is open only during the steaming summer months. Swimsuits can be worn in all restaurants. Lifeguards are posted everywhere for maximum safety of those enjoying the water.
