Welcome to Athletic Facility Peace

Hello! I’m Aromanahito, a writer for SaruKuma, your local guide to family-friendly Kumamoto.

Today I’m taking you to a place that’s been buzzing all over Kumamoto — a massive indoor adventure playground tucked away in Ueki-machi, Kita Ward, Kumamoto City:

Athletic Facility Peace

It’s about 11 minutes from the Ueki IC exit on the Kyushu Expressway. Just follow National Route 3, turn left at the Matsubara intersection, and you’ll spot it on your right.

Here’s the location! Keep going and you’ll see the entrance pop up on your right (*^-^*)

Free parking is available for up to 39 cars — super convenient if you’re driving in from out of town.

As you approach the entrance, you’ll see a digital board showing real-time ticket availability.

Reservations are required, so booking ahead of time makes everything much smoother!

Here’s how to book in advance:

Just scan the QR code with your smartphone, fill in the required info, and you’re set!

And now…

Once you step through this tunnel, the fun begins!

Pro tip: To preserve that thrilling “what’s-on-the-other-side?” excitement, restrooms can’t be used after entering the play tunnel — so make sure to go beforehand!

The facility uses a timed-entry system, so wait for the staff’s signal to head in ♪

Alright — let’s go!

What Makes Athletic Facility Peace So Special

The moment you walk in, you’ll be saying, “Wait — this is INDOORS?!”

The scale is honestly jaw-dropping.

The facility has two floors:

■ 1st Floor
・Kids Area
・Excite Area
・Climbing Area
・Gymnasium Area

■ 2nd Floor
・Trampoline Area

Honestly, the adults’ heart rates spike before the kids’ do (haha)!

Just to your left as you enter is the Kids Area, designed for the littlest visitors.
It’s a soft, gentle space where toddlers can play safely while parents watch nearby — perfect for a child’s first adventure playground experience ♪

The Excite Area — an active zone for full-body, high-energy play.

Behold — the overhanging warped wall! This is full-on challenge mode.

The moment you see it, you’ll think, “There’s NO way…” — and then somehow find yourself wanting to try it anyway.

You can also tackle it from the right using the rope!

It looks tough, but I saw both elementary and middle schoolers conquering it ^_^

Definitely give it a shot!

Once you’ve conquered the wall, the slackline is up next.

It’s nerve-wracking, but the rush when you make it across? Unbeatable.

For some reason, my kid crossed it army-crawl style (;^ω^)

And then dropped right at the very end! Haha!

This is how you’re supposed to cross it (haha).

Once you’ve crossed with a triumphant grin, you slide down the pole to finish.

Right next to the slackline is the Wall Trampoline.

It’s a 10-minute rotation system, one group at a time.

Without anyone else around, you can really let loose with your kids — adults end up having just as much fun!

The Climbing Area is divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced routes.

If it’s your first time, start with beginner.

Once you’re warmed up, work your way up to intermediate and advanced routes ♪

Suddenly everyone goes silent. Total focus mode.

Fingertips. Toes. Center of gravity. A quiet, serious battle.

And the moment you reach the top — “YESSSSS!”

Honestly, that feeling is the best (haha).

Success builds self-confidence — you can really see it.

Once you reach the top, summon some courage, let go, and you can simply descend back down.

Friendly staff are always nearby to help you choose a route, which is a huge plus.

The Gymnasium Area is a wide-open space for ball games and free movement.
There’s even a basketball hoop, so you can shoot around to your heart’s content.

And only on weekends — the crowd-favorite giant red inflatable!

Before I could even explain it to the kids, they were already racing inside! Haha!

Inside, there are huge inflatable obstacles to climb up and slide down.

Since it’s all soft inflatable material, no bumps or bruises!

I (Aromanahito) jumped off too, and felt totally fine!

The kids were soon launching themselves from higher and higher spots.

Climb the giant final staircase, and…

Whoa! A surprisingly steep slide!

I thought the kids might hesitate, but nope — they slid down without a moment of fear.
It was so fun, we ended up doing 4 or 5 laps. Sore muscles guaranteed!

There’s even a vaulting box, so I gave it a try!

I cleared it on the first jump — what a relief!

On weekdays, instructors from Fuji Sports School also come by.Backflip practice with everyone!

The instruction was so clear that even I caught on quickly. With a little spotting help, I (Aromanahito) gave it a go!
The kids picked up the basics of a backflip in no time ♪

This rock-climbing wall lets you compete for the fastest time!

Press the button, scramble to the top — your time is recorded!
The first attempt is usually a struggle, but some climbers were absolute speed demons, reaching the top in seconds.

Up on the second floor, the Trampoline Area takes the action to a whole new level.

This is the most popular zone — perfect for jumping to your heart’s content.
Feel that floating sensation while getting a fantastic full-body workout.

You can even play interactive panel games while bouncing — there’s something fun for every age group!

The moment you take that first leap, you can’t help but smile ^_^

“Whoa — this is seriously fun.”

And then — THIS!

You’ve probably seen it on TV…

I (Aromanahito) wanted to stick to the velcro wall mid-run, so I tried jumping in a running pose 😱

But my face was rough and the photo was anything but Instagrammable…

So I had my kids do it instead (＾O＾)／

Look at that!

Kids really are pros at this!

As for my own attempt… well… (^^;)

I’m in charge of the comedy bits (haha) — please forgive the silly photos (^人^;)

Velcro wall stick — success!

Even adults can pull this off (haha).

I even saw a big dad sticking to the wall — so really, anyone can join in!

Trampoline basketball is tricky, but once you find the rhythm, the shots start dropping!

There are jumping zones designed for different age groups — even small children can bounce and shoot at the same time!

Kids pick up the technique fast and start jumping high right away.

Adults are a bit clumsy at first, but trust me — they get serious about it really quickly (haha)!

“Wait, I can jump THIS high?!”

Your body remembers what it’s capable of — and that realization is honestly amazing.

It’s not about “can you do it?” but “will you try?”

This is a place where you learn that lesson with your whole body. So much fun!

You can play here without worrying about the rain, capacity is limited so it never gets too crowded, and there are lots of friendly staff around — so it feels really safe and welcoming.

You’ll work up a serious sweat, so don’t forget your water bottle and a towel!

If you’re looking to burn off some energy with serious jumping, running, and laughing — this is the place.
