Even in midsummer, water temperature is in single digits!? The largest outdoor water play area in the Kanto region, 'Splash Carnival,' opens on June 27 (Sat). This year, collaborative content with the movie 'Crayon Shin-chan' appears

About 50 minutes by car from the metropolitan area, surrounded by lush forests, the adventure resort 'Sagamiko MORI MORI' (Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture) will start operating the largest outdoor water play area in the Kanto region, 'Splash Carnival,' boasting a total area of approximately 5,000㎡, from June 27, 2026 (Sat).

This year, we will collaborate with the movie 'Crayon Shin-chan: Strange Strange! Ora's Yokai Vacation,' which will be released on July 31 (Fri). We have prepared various colorful contents where you can enjoy together with the characters appearing in the movie, such as the 'Water Gun Shooting Game' featuring the Wild Brain family and unique yokai as panels, and the 'Water Maze' filled with tricky traps. We look forward to welcoming you all.

Furthermore, the dynamic water spraying event 'Ladder Car Splash,' which was very popular last year, will also be in a collaborative version. In time with 'Ore wa Ninki Mono,' one of the most popular opening themes from the TV anime 'Crayon Shin-chan,' you can enjoy a special show of about 3 minutes where 'Splash Man' sprays water to guests from a 10-meter-high ladder car (limited to weekends and holidays).

Inside the area, there are six types of pools with unique features, including the 'Kinki! Ice Pool' with floating ice and a water temperature in the single digits, a giant balloon pool 6 meters high featuring the symbol characters of Sagamiko MORI MORI, 'MORI MORI Brothers,' and a 15-meter-long triple long slider.

Just 50 minutes from the city center, 'Splash Carnival' offers a location overflowing with nature where you can fully enjoy water play. Please enjoy creating cool and fun summer memories with your family and friends at 'Sagamiko MORI MORI.'

(Story)

One summer day, strange supernatural phenomena were repeatedly spotted across Japan, causing a stir in society. Amidst this, the Wild Brain family, who were heading to Hiroshi's hometown in Akita Prefecture for a visit, were preparing for their trip. While they were doing so, a suspicious shadow was secretly peeking at Shin-chan, who was leisurely enjoying a game of yokai with his friends, from the shadow of the garden.

The Wild Brain family, who were looking forward to their visit and the fireworks festival, were spending a peaceful time at the home of their grandfather, Ginnojo. However, the next morning after arriving in Akita, an inexplicable incident occurred! The entire room where Shin-chan and the others were staying was scattered with flyers for 'Obake-shon Village.'

Excited by the flyers with the words 'Chocobi tabehodai!' (All-you-can-eat chocolate biscuits), Shin-chan asked the Wild Brain family to go to 'Obake-shon Village.' As they looked at the changing scenery of Akita along the way, they found themselves entering a strange space as they went deeper into the remote mountains...

That was the entrance to the 'Yokai Country,' where humans are forbidden to enter!

Will Shin-chan and the Wild Brain family, who are facing the biggest crisis in the history of the Wild Brain family in the 'Yokai Country,' be able to return safely to the human world?

The curtain rises on a mysterious summer adventure where the Wild Brain family and the cheerful yokai meet!
