SOYU SECRET FOREST - 菖蒲-６００５-1 菖蒲町 Kuki

It was nice to have a place where I could wash my hands and clean it. There were slides, ball pools, water playgrounds, toys, drawings, and so on, and the kids enjoyed it. It was very helpful to be free to enter and leave! I want to go again.

(Added in October 2019) I went around noon on Sunday (cloudy). Although the purpose was to play in the water, I was a little disappointed that “water play is open in the afternoon” (I want it to be posted on the website). There are always 5-6 children in the water playground. It's a waste because it is a place with a low population density. Overall, there are about 20 children. Even if you buy a free pass for 2 hours, it is quite difficult to keep it for 2 hours with the current playground equipment. The next McDonald's is always a large queue. Can it be renewed a little? For example, cut all the chair space in the water playground and divide the opposite side of the circle into a small counter-like “experience set” (an image like “Coconico” in Toyohashi City, the original of the experience set ) To make it a corner where you can play individually (I think it will cost a lot of labor). Nonetheless, indoor water playgrounds dedicated to infants and children are truly precious places and the biggest feature in the country, so it is important to continue this. By the way, if you play for more than 1 hour and 10 minutes, it is more profitable to register as an e-mail magazine and become a member. I don't even get an email. As an aside, when you look at the waterfall at the water playground, you will remember the waterfall at the warehouse entrance (although the brightness is different). It looks good and is an idea that seems to be a game center company! (Last post) SOYU is headquartered in Akita and has many stores in Tohoku, but it is a game center that you can see in Saitama, especially in Kawaguchi. The date and time of play are from the morning of August during the Bon holiday (weekdays) to noon. There were 3 groups in front of the reception desk, but since there were no procedures for membership cards, etc., we entered immediately. I used the summer vacation fee (1,000 yen for 2 hours, free for parents, prepaid system). The view from the reception is a full view. I feel a little narrow from this location. I feel about half to 2/3 the size of Omiya's kidsina. Since there are only four play areas and genres, you may want to leave immediately if you do not have a favorite play. About 20 pairs of ball pools were playing. The “dome-shaped fluffy ladybug-shaped” in the middle is not used much and there are many around. If you try to play it fluffy, it will make it difficult for your parents to reach. The ball pool fulfills the minimum functionality but is less satisfactory. There are about 10 sets of hand-playing areas, but this is a small area and the playground equipment is old and few. Since there are no people who run around, I think it is a place where you can enjoy it slowly. Large playground equipment (slide) was popular with around 15 people. The slide is relatively fast, so it's fun but a little dangerous. Also, 2-6 years old children are going to climb on the slide while going through the jungle gym at the same time, but if you let them go alone, it is difficult to go to help from the middle, so be careful is. I think the water play corner is the centerpiece of this facility, but only about 10 to 15 people are playing (capacity is limited to 20 people). It is very precious to experience playing in the water, and I think such a place is important, but because it occupies nearly half of the total area (including changing clothes), it felt a little wasteful. My child seemed to like this water playground and played for almost an hour (so it was ★ 4, but if it was not good to play in water, it would be two. The level of purification facilities in the water playground is a little worry). By the way, the total number of customers is about 60 pairs, most of which are less than elementary school students (it is unsatisfactory if it is 1 or higher), admission restriction waiting around 20 minutes around 11:45, and waiting around 10 minutes around 12:40 . The day was bad due to the typhoon, so it might have been a day with many customers. If you are coming for the first time, the parking lot in Morage should be close to the outside or the north side (blue parking).

The area around Omiya-Konosu has the best balance, the ball pool is large, and although it is only for a limited time, it is characterized by Tarzan and playing in the water. (Instead, there are a few athletics) There is also a vending machine, a children's toilet and a changing room inside the game, so you don't have to go outside. Since the business hours are long except under the state of emergency, I am happy that I can use it for taking a nap, finishing work, returning to the nursery school, etc. Within the basic charge for up to 2 adults. It may feel expensive in a short time of 30 minutes. It is easy to use because it is adjacent to McDonald's and the parking lot of the shopping mall is large.

I used it on weekdays in Obon. It was raining 30 minutes after the store opened, but it was barely there. There is a limit on the number of people. Since it is a summer vacation period, you can enter it without a membership card. In addition, there is a 2-hour 1000 yen course during the summer vacation, which is a great deal. The playground has recently been renewed, so time has passed in no time. You can also play in the water. Free swimwear (daily wear), towels for rent, lockers and hairdryer are provided. There is also a vending machine, so you can take a short break. There are also colored corners and toys where you can have a meal. It's in the morage, so I recommend summer vacation when you don't have any plans! I think it's best to go in the morning!
