Water slide height limits at Japan family pools

Will my child be tall enough for the slides? Published minimum heights for the main slides at these facilities range from 105 cm to 140 cm. Several also have a kids' pool or small slide for younger children.

For: Families with children under about 140 cm

Decide with these criteria

What to weigh

  • Your child's height against each slide's published minimum
  • Whether there is a kids' pool or small slide for siblings who are too short
  • Rules that can affect the day, such as swim diapers or rash guards
