Inside アスレチック施設ぴーす: Five Zones for Every Energy Level

Step inside and your first reaction will likely be: “Wait — this is indoors?” The sheer scale of the space catches everyone off guard. The facility spans two floors packed with activity zones for all ages and ability levels.

1st Floor: Kids Area · Excite Area · Climbing Area · Gymnasium Area
2nd Floor: Trampoline Area

Adults tend to get a racing heartbeat before the kids even begin.

Just inside on the left is the Kids Area — a soft, gentle zone with plush equipment where toddlers and young children can explore safely. Spectating parents are welcome to stay close, making it a natural base for families with mixed ages. A calm first stop before the intensity ramps up.

The Excite Area is the park’s active core — a high-energy zone designed to get your whole body moving. This is where things get serious.

That steeply angled wall stops visitors in their tracks. “There’s no way” — and yet somehow the urge to try is immediate. Scale it directly or use the rope on the right side.

It looks formidable — but elementary and middle-school kids were clearing it without hesitation. Don’t think too hard. Just go.

Next is the slackline — a narrow webbing ribbon stretched tightly between two anchor points, used in adventure parks and outdoor sports worldwide. Cross it upright with arms out, or crawl across on all fours if that’s what it takes. The soft landing below makes falling part of the fun.

This is how it’s supposed to look — arms out, core tight, eyes forward. Easier said than done.

Reach the other end with style and slide down the pole to finish. Right next door is the wall trampoline — a bouncy enclosed chamber used in 10-minute group rotations. Jump as hard as you like; adults find themselves surprisingly addicted.

Go in alongside your kids and bounce together — there’s no reason to hold back in here.

The Climbing Area has three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. First-timers should start at beginner — the holds are larger and the angle forgiving. Staff are always on hand to suggest which route to tackle.

Work up to intermediate and advanced as your confidence grows. When you’re fully focused — fingers pressing, feet finding each hold — the world goes quiet. Reaching the top triggers a genuine “YES!” that you can feel in your chest. That kind of earned success does something good for the spirit. Once you summit, release your feet and lower yourself down with the staff guiding you.

The Gymnasium Area is a wide-open floor space with basketball hoops for free play. And on weekends only, a towering red inflatable obstacle course appears at the far end of the room — one of the most popular attractions in the building.

This weekend-only giant inflatable is visible from across the gym floor. If you’re visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, it’s not something you’ll want to skip.

Don’t Miss: The Moments That Make アスレチック施設ぴーす Worth the Trip

No explanation needed — kids launch straight into the inflatable obstacle course the moment they see the entrance.

Inside: massive air-cushioned obstacles to scramble over, crawl through, and launch off. Because everything is inflatable, no one gets hurt — just gloriously tired.

Adults can leap from the highest platforms without a second thought — the landings are entirely cushioned. Kids were jumping from progressively higher spots, each attempt bolder than the last.

Climb the final giant staircase and brace yourself for what’s at the top…

A surprisingly steep inflatable slide. Children shot down it without a flicker of hesitation. We ended up going four or five rounds — sore legs the next morning were absolutely confirmed.

Vaulting boxes — the gymnastics staple from school P.E. classes — are also on the floor. Yes, adults can still clear them. We confirmed this personally.

On weekdays, certified instructors from Fuji Sports School are on-site running backflip workshops (バク転 / bakuten). The coaching is clear enough that complete beginners can feel the technique in their bodies within a single session — with hands-on support throughout. An unexpected bonus on a Tuesday afternoon.

Kids and adults practice backflips side by side. With guided support, everyone gets a shot at the basics.

The timed speed-climbing wall brings out the competitor in everyone. Hit the start button, race to the top, and your time is recorded. Some visitors struggle to get moving on the first attempt — others practically fly up. Both reactions are equally entertaining to watch.

Press the button, climb as fast as you can, beat your personal best. Once you try it once, you’ll immediately want to go again.

Head upstairs to the 2nd Floor Trampoline Area — wide trampoline lanes where you jump freely, play panel-reaction games, and bounce until your legs give out. There are age-appropriate sections so even small children can join safely alongside their parents.

Interactive light-up panel games built into the trampoline floor let you score points while you jump — part reflex game, part full-body workout. Adults start cautiously. Then the rhythm takes over. “Wait — can I always do this?”

And then there’s the attraction you might recognize from Japanese variety television…

The Velcro sticky wall — a staple of Japanese game shows. You wear a Velcro suit, bounce on the trampoline, hurl yourself at the wall, and stick. Results vary dramatically. Adults posing mid-jump tend to produce photos best described as “expressive.”

Kids nail it with effortless style. The adult version is funnier. Everyone watching wins either way.

Fully stuck — even large adults make it up there. Get the whole family in suits and go for it together.

The trampoline floor continues in multiple directions — there’s always somewhere new to explore up here.

Trampoline basketball is harder than it looks — sinking a clean shot while airborne takes real timing. Once the rhythm clicks, the ball starts dropping through. Instantly addictive.

There are lower hoops for smaller children too — everyone shoots together. Kids figure out the technique almost immediately. Adults take a little longer. Then suddenly the whole section is full of people competing in complete earnest.

What makes アスレチック施設ぴーす special is less about any single attraction and more about what the whole experience teaches you: it’s not about whether you can do something — it’s about deciding to try. The moment you take that first leap, your body remembers what it feels like to play without limits.

The facility is fully indoor and rain-proof, capacity is controlled, and staff are present throughout — so parents can relax while the kids (and everyone else) run completely wild. Bring a water bottle and a towel — you will absolutely need both.
