Indoor Rock Climbing in Osaka
Indoor Rock Climbing in Osaka
Want to get some indoor rock climbing done during your stay in Osaka?
City Rock Gym offers 4 meter interior walls in addition to some 10 meter walls on the exterior of their building.
Opened seven days a week from 10 AM - 10 PM, it is best to visit this gym during daytime hours on weekdays, as you’ll largely avoid any crowds.
Drop in fees are 2100 yen for adults and 510 yen for shoe rentals. But a word of caution -- the gym warns of not stocking very large shoe sizes; this could be a problem for some westerners.
The gym recommends wearing loose fitting clothes (not jeans); a t-shirt and a pair of shorts are fine.
From downtown Osaka, go to Hankyu Umeda Station and board any train that passes thru Juso. This includes all local and express trains destined for Kobe and Takarazuka.
Get off at Juso Station and take the west exit. Walk alongside the Juso-suji (Route 41) road in a north-west direction until you encounter a rail line. Turn left and follow the train tracks until you see City Rock Gym (and their towering external climbing walls) on your right.
The walk from Juso Station is about 1km.
You can learn more about City Rock gym from their website.
