Bouldering Wall

The main climbing area spans two floors with impressive variety: slab, vertical, gentle overhang, strong overhang, and roof sections. The diverse angles let you work everything from technical footwork to power moves. Route setters keep things fresh with problems ranging from beginner-friendly V0s to challenging V8+ projects that'll test advanced climbers.

Beginner Area

A dedicated beginner section gives new climbers space to learn fundamentals without feeling intimidated. The walls here focus on basic techniques and movement patterns with clearly marked easier problems. It's a smart setup that keeps the main walls free for intermediate and advanced climbers while giving beginners room to progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Day passes are ¥1,980, which is pretty reasonable for Tokyo bouldering gyms. I don't see info on their registration fee listed, so you'll want to check when you arrive or call ahead if that matters for your budget planning.
You've got the full spectrum: slab for technique work, vertical walls, gentle overhang for endurance, strong overhang for power training, and roof sections when you want to test your limits. The variety means you can work on weaknesses or focus on your strengths depending on your session goals.
Absolutely. The range from beginner to advanced means there's solid density in the intermediate grades. With multiple wall angles, you'll find plenty of V3-V5 problems to work through, and the overhang sections are great for building power at that level.
English support is listed as limited, so brush up on basic Japanese climbing terms or have a translation app ready. Staff might not be fluent, but climbers are generally friendly and the universal language of sending problems usually works fine.
There are foot wash stations (super handy for keeping rental shoes clean or refreshing after a session) and a gear shop on-site for essentials like chalk, tape, or brushes. No parking though, so plan to walk or take public transit.
It's a quick 4-minute walk from Nishi-Nippori Station, making it super accessible. The station is on the JR Yamanote Line, so you can get there easily from anywhere in Tokyo.
With two floors and a spacious layout, it handles crowds better than smaller gyms. That said, weekday afternoons or early mornings are typically your best bet for uninterrupted training if you want walls to yourself.
Yes, there's a gear shop on-site with climbing essentials. Perfect if you need to grab chalk, a brush, or tape mid-session, though don't expect a massive selection like specialty retailers.
