Tokyo Olympic Aquatics Center Travel Notes

To check in, the hotel was chosen next to Shiomi Station, which is about a kilometer walk and a small bridge away. On the way, we met a Japanese grandfather in a wheelchair. When he saw us looking at the road sign, he enthusiastically pointed the way in good English. This random kindness was quite a surprise. Entering the venue, the main pool and the small pool are on both sides, and you have to buy tickets separately. The small pool was not open that day, and the main pool was 700 yen for a 2.5-hour swim, and you can also use credit cards, which is very convenient. Insert the card to pass the gate, and take off your shoes to enter the locker room. The lockers are of various sizes and can be locked by inserting the swimming ticket. The bottom of the locker is specially separated for shoes, and the details are thoughtful. There is a shower curtain in the bathroom, and there is no reminder of prohibited toiletries. The small partition at the entrance can temporarily store things. Go straight into the main pool from the locker room. Think about the Olympic athletes who once cut through the waves here, and come to check in and play in the water. It's wonderful and joyful. This Christmas trip is worth it! #TokyoInfinityPool
