Frequently Asked Questions
Day passes run ¥2,200, plus a one-time registration fee of ¥1,100 on your first visit. So expect to pay ¥3,300 total your first session, then ¥2,200 for subsequent visits. Pretty standard pricing for the Osaka area.
English support is limited, so brushing up on basic climbing Japanese might help. That said, the staff are known for being patient and demonstrative with first-timers, so you can likely get by with gestures and simple phrases. Bouldering rules are pretty universal anyway.
Super convenient – just 4 minutes on foot from Tsuruhashi Station. It's one of the more accessible gyms in the area if you're relying on public transit. The station is on both the JR Loop Line and Kintetsu lines, making it easy to reach from most parts of Osaka.
No dedicated parking, but the gym provides a list of nearby coin parking options. Given how close it is to the station though, most folks just take the train – it's honestly easier than dealing with parking in that area.
Definitely kid-friendly! They have a dedicated kids area and offer both 'Parent-Child Experience' plans and bouldering schools for different age groups. It's one of the better options in Osaka if you're looking to climb with your children or get them started in the sport.
The gym focuses heavily on the beginner-friendly side with careful instruction, so it's more chill than hardcore. If you're an intermediate climber wanting focused training without crowds of newbies, you might want to check out busier times first. That said, the walls do offer progression through advanced grades, just with a more supportive atmosphere.
They run bouldering schools for various age groups and have staff who provide technique instruction, especially for first-timers. The emphasis is on teaching proper form and rules rather than just letting people loose on the walls. Good if you want structured learning, though details on adult-specific class schedules aren't clearly listed.
First-time visitors get a careful lecture on rules and basic bouldering techniques from the staff, so plan for a bit of orientation time. Bring your ¥3,300 for the day pass plus registration, and expect a welcoming environment even if you've never climbed before. Rental shoes and chalk are standard at Japanese gyms like this.
