D-Bouldering + lead Tachikawa

Day passes run ¥2,300, plus a ¥1,430 registration fee on your first visit. That's pretty reasonable considering you get access to both bouldering and lead climbing facilities, plus the Kilter Board and training area. They likely offer monthly memberships too, which would make sense if you're planning to train regularly.

The lead area maxes out at a steep 130-degree overhang, with support for both lead and top-rope climbing. Two auto-belay machines are installed, so you can definitely get routes in solo without needing a partner. Great option for lunch break sessions or when your usual belay partner flakes.

You've got solid variety with slab, vertical, mantle, slight overhang, and strong overhang sections up to 5 meters. That range means you can work technical footwork on slabs one day and power through steep problems the next. There's also a dedicated beginner wall, so it won't feel crowded with first-timers on the main walls during busy times.

English support is listed as limited, so expect staff to speak primarily Japanese. That said, climbing gyms are pretty visual—pointing at walls and watching a quick belay demonstration usually gets you through. If you're nervous, bring a translation app for registration, but the actual climbing part should be straightforward.

Beyond the climbing walls, there's a full training area with a Kilter Board (app-connected adjustable wall), campus boards, and various hangboards with crimps, pinches, and slopers. The Kilter Board is particularly useful for structured training since you can follow specific programs and track your sends. Good setup for serious training days.

Super convenient—just 2 minutes walk from Tachikawa-Minami Station. Tachikawa is well-connected on the JR Chuo Line, about 40 minutes from Shinjuku. The quick station-to-gym walk means you can easily squeeze in a session after work without the trek eating into your climbing time.

They've got changing rooms, lockers for your stuff, a rest area with outlets and smartphone chargers, vending machines, and foot wash stations. There's also a gear shop on-site if you need to replace worn shoes or pick up chalk. Affiliated parking is available too if you're driving.

Yes, there's a kids area, but with the dedicated beginner wall and the sheer size of facilities (bouldering, lead, and training areas), it shouldn't feel overrun with kids. The separate spaces mean families can do their thing while you focus on projecting that 130-degree lead route or hitting the Kilter Board.
