3 recommended bouldering and climbing gym courses around Osaka! Introducing beginner schools that can be enjoyed by both children and adults!

2019/05/12

First, let's talk about the difference between "climbing" and "bouldering". First of all, climbing can be broadly divided into "sport climbing", which competes in speed and the number of walls climbed, "free climbing", which involves grabbing holds and climbing with your own strength without using any equipment, and "lead climbing", which is popular among advanced climbers who wear a harness and climb while setting a lead. Bouldering is a type of climbing, and it mainly involves free climbing, where you climb a relatively low wall, about 5m high, with your own body. Although skills and techniques are required, bouldering is a simple sport where you climb a wall with just your body, so the only equipment you need is chalk and shoes. As a result, it has become a familiar sport that anyone can challenge. In the 2020 global sporting events, "sport climbing", which is a combination of "bouldering", "lead", and "speed", has become an official event, so please try it yourself before watching the event.

[Osaka/Osaka City] Beginner-friendly bouldering experience!

2018/08/25

This is a bouldering experience plan in Tennoji-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! The nearest station is Tsuruhashi Station on both Kintetsu and JR. It is about 10 minutes by train from Umeda or Namba, so it is an area with good access. If you come by car, you can use the paid parking lot in front of the store. I have never had a chance to do bouldering before, but have you ever tried it? I don't have the stamina, and I thought it looked difficult, so I avoided it. Here at MAHOROBA FOREST, the staff will teach beginners the basics, and they also have courses for beginners. That way, you can feel safe, and it's okay to go with other bouldering beginners. It's also nice that both men and women can enjoy it together. Looking at the photos, even children are trying their best to try it!

[Osaka Nagai Park] No compromises allowed! Is it at a level that can be sold in a store?! Serious silver accessory making

2018/08/23

This is a silver accessory making experience in Higashisumiyoshi-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! Higashisumiyoshi-ku is located southeast of Tennoji. You can get there by subway, Kintetsu, or JR, but I recommend the nearest Kintetsu Harinakano Station. It takes just over 30 minutes from Umeda or Osaka Station. At this experience studio, Gallery Naka/Nagai Park Classroom, you can make your favorite ring, pendant, or brooch. It's amazing, you can make your own accessories for everyday use! And it's pure silver. I don't wear silver much, but I looked at some photos to see what kind of design I could make, and it looks like it would be easy for both men and women to wear. It also says "one-of-a-kind pair rings in the world." This is not only a commemorative gift for lovers or couples, but also for wedding rings... it's wonderful! By the way, my friend went to a ring making class to propose to his girlfriend with a handmade ring, and the studio was just like this. It's nice to receive something handmade, whether it's a ring or anything else, that's full of feelings.

[Osaka, Shinsaibashi] Casual glass craft experience, sandblasting!

2018/08/20

This is a sandblasting experience plan in Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! Do you know what sandblasting is? It's actually one of the glass crafts that Caolin is good at. Sand means sand, and blast means blast or gust of wind, and it is a method of making patterns by using sand and wind to make fine scratches on glass or mirrors. A special machine called a sandblaster is used to blow this wind and create the frosted glass patterns. "Sandblaster? I have one at home!" I think it's very rare for a household to say that, so it's essential to take advantage of a workshop like this.

[Osaka, Naniwa] For events and sightseeing! Ride around on public road karts!

2018/08/18

Public road karting in Namba, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! This is it!! When I've seen them around town before, I've always wondered if they were karting enthusiasts or people from a gaming club. It was an activity. I was so ignorant! I want to live a quiet life, but when I look at the photos, I get a strong party animal (huh? Is that an obsolete term?) vibe, and I feel embarrassed to be attracting attention from people in the city, but if it's a case of "forgetting your shame on the road," then it's okay...I guess. lol

[Osaka] Experience an electric potter's wheel in the tourist-filled Tennoji/Abeno area

2018/08/16

This is a plan for a pottery experience in Tennoji! We previously introduced a VR experience in Abeno, but this area is also attractive with plenty of facilities for activities. Horikoshi Pottery Studio, where you can experience pottery making on an electric potter's wheel, is located in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, with good access from Umeda, and the nearest station is Tennoji Station. Speaking of Tennoji, the zoo and Tsutenkaku are must-see spots for pottery lovers, so be sure to include them in your plans after the pottery making experience. Lol If you are coming by car, there is no parking lot so please use a nearby paid parking lot! As an aside, for animal lovers who want to visit Tennoji Zoo and Kaiyukan in succession, the travel time is about 30 minutes. Lol

The central area of Osaka! How about starting your sightseeing trip to Osaka or Kyoto in a yukata from here?

2018/08/09

This is a yukata rental experience at Kyoto Sagano-kan "Kyoaruki Umeda Store" located in Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. It is easily accessible, just a 2-minute walk from Hankyu Umeda Station, JR Osaka Station, and Umeda Station on the Midosuji Subway Line! They also offer free luggage storage, making it perfect for tourists. In addition, they offer a kimono return service at hotels in Kyoto City, which is a great service for those planning to travel around the Kansai region. By the way, they will also deliver your luggage to your accommodation while you are sightseeing in Osaka.

Full of services and facilities. SUP while watching the planes in Osaka Bay!

2018/08/05

Up until now, we've been introducing tours that you can experience in the great outdoors, but this is the first time I've seen marine sports in the city like this. You can experience this at Tarui Southern Beach, located in Rinku Minamihama, Sennan City, Osaka Prefecture, south of Kansai International Airport! From around Umeda, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, it's just under an hour's drive. Looking at Osaka Bay on a map again, it seems that in a straight line, Universal Studios Japan and Kaiyukan are quite close to Kansai Airport. This got me thinking about what it would be like to go on a SUP...Hmm, if I try hard, maybe I can cross Osaka Bay and go to Kobe. But maybe that's impossible. Haha

Fight off approaching zombies! VR experience in Abeno, Osaka

2018/08/02

VR experience plan in Abeno-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! I have never experienced VR, but it's a hot topic right now, so I'm interested. Have you experienced it yet? The VR at SEGA VR AREA ABENO is characterized by "free roam" where players can move actively, and "6-player simultaneous play" where players can play cooperatively with other players. The gameplay has evolved in many ways. Speaking of SEGA, it's the nostalgic Game Gear (handheld game console), and I'm surprised because I was born in the Showa era when time stopped. I loved Sonic. Looking at the introduction on the activity site, the content and world view of the game are amazing! Moreover, the play area is 225 square meters. I guess you walk around a lot. I imagine that I'll be scared of the zombies and scream the whole time... lol Or rather, I'm so stupid that I'm going to be a nuisance to the team!
