Bouldering Wall

Two-floor bouldering setup with distinct character: the 2nd floor features gentler angles perfect for warming up and technique work, while the 1st floor throws steep overhangs up to 140 degrees at you. This range makes it easy to progress from moderate problems to powerful, roof-style climbing in one session.

Top-rope Wall

The rope climbing area reaches approximately 10 meters with multiple top-rope lines available. Six auto-belay machines—one of the highest counts in Japanese gyms—mean you can get quality rope mileage even when climbing solo, eliminating the usual wait times during busy periods.

Lead Climbing

Lead climbing is fully supported on the main rope wall, allowing you to practice clipping and endurance on sustained routes. The 10-meter height provides enough vertical distance for meaningful lead training without being intimidating for those transitioning from top-rope.

Auto-belay Wall

With six auto-belay units integrated into the rope area, RUNOUT makes solo climbing genuinely practical. This setup is particularly valuable for technical practice, endurance laps, or when your usual partners aren't available—just clip in and climb.

Training Area

A dedicated training space lets you work on conditioning beyond just climbing routes. Expect fingerboards, campus rungs, and other standard tools for building power and contact strength between burns on the wall.

Crack Climbing

The outdoor crack practice area offers a rare training opportunity in Japanese gyms. Whether you're preparing for outdoor trad climbs or just want to develop crack technique, this specialized feature adds genuine variety to your training routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

The six auto-belay machines are the big draw—RUNOUT has one of the highest counts in Japan. This means you can actually get consistent rope climbing done solo without waiting around, which is huge if your belay partners have unpredictable schedules. The 10-meter height gives you enough sustained climbing to work endurance and technique.
The two-floor layout works really well. The 2nd floor has gentler terrain that's great for warming up or working technical sequences, while the 1st floor has steep overhangs up to 140 degrees where you can really test your power. You can easily structure sessions that build from moderate to challenging without feeling like you're in the wrong gym.
Day passes run ¥2,500, with a one-time registration fee of ¥1,000 on your first visit. Pretty standard pricing for a full-featured gym with both bouldering and rope facilities. Given the auto-belay access and variety of walls, it's solid value if you plan to do more than just boulder.
Yes, the gym offers English support, so you should be fine navigating registration, safety briefings, and basic questions even without fluent Japanese. This makes RUNOUT more accessible than many local gyms if you're an international climber.
The 3rd floor rest area is well-equipped with manga, magazines, TV, hot water, microwave, and ice for post-session recovery. There are foot wash stations, changing rooms, and a gear shop on-site. Paid parking for about 10 cars is available on both sides of the building, which is convenient if you're driving in with gear.
It's only a 5-minute walk from Nishikokubunji Station, making it very accessible by train. The proximity to the station means you can realistically get there for weekday evening sessions without the commute eating up too much time.
RUNOUT has a dedicated outdoor wall for ice climbing and dry tooling practice—pretty unusual for a Japanese gym. If you're into alpine climbing or just want to try tool work, this is a rare training resource. There's also a crack climbing practice area, which is another feature you don't see everywhere.
Definitely. The dedicated training area has the usual fingerboards and campus boards for power work. Combined with the rest area on the 3rd floor (with ice for recovery), you can structure serious training sessions that go beyond just running laps on problems.
