Osaka Kings is a mat jumping facility that is easily accessible from the Kansai region, being about 30 to 40 minutes from major stations in Osaka and Kyoto.
The kickers include a big (10m) and a medium (7m) for advanced skiers, as well as two up-kickers (5m) for intermediate skiers. There is also a small (3m) and a super small (1m) for beginners. There are also freeriding lanes for getting used to the snow brush, and a jib lane, for a total of eight lanes, making it one of the largest in Japan.
The next-generation snow brush "SNOWTURF" is introduced for the first time in Japan
Starting this May, Japan's first next-generation snow brush, "SNOWTURF," will be officially introduced in the country. Developed jointly by Gyro Technology, the company behind the "STANCER" snowboard, and professional snowboarder Keiji Okamoto, the brush offers a more realistic feel and edge control than previous brushes, and has been highly praised by riders who have tried it out at the Murakami Snow Research & Training Center, where it was first tested.
A spacious and convenient rest area
The main center house (rest area), which spreads out around the reception office, is divided into an upper and lower section and is fully equipped with convenient facilities for maintaining equipment and body, such as a stretching room, wax space, lockers, showers, washing areas, changing rooms, and a smoking area. The air-conditioned and heated "KINGS Cafe" is open to everyone, so even non-skiers can relax and enjoy their waiting time.
A wide range of activities
In addition to skiing and snowboarding, there are plenty of other activities available, including an auto-camping area, a BBQ space, a skateboard mini-ramp, a trampoline, and even a slackline. The appeal of Osaka KINGS is that you can enjoy each activity however you like.
Kings offers a service called "FIRST KINGS" for first-time users of the facility, offering low rates and a wide range of services such as Ladies' Day. "FIRST KINGS" is only available on Tuesdays and Fridays. If you would like to use it, please visit their website.
