Day passes run ¥1,650, plus a ¥1,100 registration fee on your first visit. If you're planning to make this your regular gym, they offer monthly passes with perks like gear shop discounts.
Different sections of the wall get renewed each month on a regular schedule. This means you'll always have fresh problems to work on without the entire gym changing at once—nice if you're projecting something specific.
It's notably spacious and open compared to typical Tokyo bouldering gyms. That said, being 3 minutes from Seibu-Shinjuku Station means evenings and weekends can still get busy. Weekday mornings or early afternoons are your best bet for focused sessions.
You've got clean changing rooms, lockers for your stuff, and a foot wash area. There's also a gear shop on-site where monthly pass holders get discounts—handy if you need shoes, chalk, or other essentials.
English support is limited, so brush up on basic climbing Japanese or come prepared with a translation app. The staff is helpful, but don't expect full English communication.
Head to Seibu-Shinjuku Station—it's a separate station from JR Shinjuku, about a 5-minute walk north from the main JR station. From Seibu-Shinjuku, the gym is just 3 minutes on foot.
The Yuji Hirayama connection brings a legitimate pro climbing perspective to the route setting and overall facility design. The spacious layout and methodical monthly rotation system give it a more thoughtful feel than your typical commercial climbing gym.
Rental shoes are typically available at bouldering gyms in Tokyo, though it's not explicitly confirmed here. Chalk is usually provided, but serious climbers prefer their own anyway. Check with the gear shop on-site if you need to pick anything up.
