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
Spacious and convenient rest areas and plenty of activities
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
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, trampolines, and even a slackline. The appeal of Osaka KINGS is that you can enjoy each activity however you like
Great deals and comprehensive support for beginners
Osaka KINGS offers not only excellent facilities but also a variety of promotions. In addition to a "Friend Referral Campaign" that rewards both the referrer and the referred, they hold a "Ladies' Day" every Monday. Women can ski all day for the price of one session, and rentals, beginner lessons, and showers are all free. Furthermore, they receive a complimentary cup of coffee or tea, and occasionally offer free women-only lessons led by Osaka KINGS ambassadors. *Check their official Instagram for event dates
For first-time users, we especially recommend the "FIRST KINGS" package. The combined fee for board use and rental(board set, helmet, and protectors), normally 6,400 yen, is available for 2,400 yen – a 60% discount! This fantastic offer allows you to practice as many times as you need until you can fly, while receiving lessons from qualified and experienced staff.
Both "FIRST KINGS" on Tuesday and Friday evenings, and "SUPER FIRST KINGS" on the third Saturday morning of each month, require reservations. Check the official website for details!
