Largest in the Tokai region! Challenge-type state-of-the-art trampoline park "JUMP LAB"

“JUMP LAB Yokkaichi Store,” located a 2-minute walk from Kintetsu Kawaramachi Station, is a giant trampoline park with stores in Midori Ward and Moriyama Ward, Nagoya City.

The Yokkaichi store, which opened in 2025, has an area equivalent to four tennis courts, about twice the size of other stores! It offers various levels of athletics that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

With 30 trampolines, it's one of the best in Japan! It also boasts about 10 types of state-of-the-art attractions, such as "Slam Dunk" where you can make a dunk shot using a trampoline, and "Ninja Wall," a leaning wall divided into three difficulty levels.

Notable attractions unique to the Yokkaichi store include a 10m "zip line" and "sticker bomb" (100 yen per sticker) where you jump high and stick a name sticker with your nickname written on it to the wall.

The biggest highlight is the "X-PARK area," which occupies about one-third of the site. You can experience four courses that involve overcoming obstacles.

The 60-minute course fee is 1,500 yen for ages 4 to high school students and 1,900 yen for adults. If you register as a member (new membership fee 800 yen), you will receive special non-slip socks, so you can enjoy it hands-free.

In February, a dog cafe specializing in large dogs, "Large Dog SMILELAND" (1-hour fee: 2,600 yen on weekdays, 3,000 yen on weekends and holidays), opened on Honmachi-dori in the Osu area of Nagoya!

You can interact with over 10 large dogs at all times, including the popular "Samoyed," the "St. Bernard" known as an alpine mountain rescue dog, the "Newfoundland" of which there are only about 200 in Japan, and the "Samosky," a mix of Samoyed and Husky.

Inside the store, you can interact with the dogs by buying "handmade biscuits" (500 yen) or enjoy taking "Cheki photos" (700 yen) with them, just like idols. There's even a dedicated room for TikTok streaming. Once a month, a "Smile General Election" is held based on customer votes.

Weekends and rainy days can be crowded, so reservations are recommended. You can see the dogs relaxing during lunchtime, and running around energetically right after opening and just before closing.
