How much does a play centre in Tokyo cost? For one adult and two children on a weekend, a two- to three-hour visit to a Tokyo play centre typically costs about ¥3,300 to ¥6,500 in total, depending on the venue. Most centres charge children by time (often ¥800–¥1,300 for the first 30–60 minutes) or offer day passes, and most charge adults a separate entry fee. Weekdays are cheaper almost everywhere.
This guide compares how the main play-centre chains price a visit, then works out what a typical family would pay. For descriptions of each venue, see our guide to the best indoor playgrounds in Tokyo.

Worked example: one adult and two children on a weekend
Here’s what one parent with two children (aged 4 and 7) would pay for roughly two to three hours of play on a Saturday, using the prices above. Food, lockers and socks are extra.
- Kids Land US Ome (reported): ¥700 adult + 2 × ¥1,300 weekend 3-hour pack = about ¥3,300
- ASOBONO! (reported): 3 × ¥950–¥1,300 for the first hour = ¥2,850–¥3,900, plus extension charges for the children after 60 minutes
- BorneLund (official): ¥700 adult + 1-Day Pass ¥3,400 + half-price second child ¥1,700 = ¥5,800. Paying by time for two hours instead would cost ¥2,800 per child (¥1,000 for 30 minutes + 9 × ¥200), so the day pass is better value.
- Fantasy Kids Resort (official): 3 × ¥1,950 Fantasy Pack = ¥5,850, plus ¥400 for the family card on your first visit = ¥6,250
- PLAY! PARK (official): 3-hour tickets ¥1,300 + 2 × ¥2,300 = ¥5,900; 1-day tickets ¥1,500 + 2 × ¥2,500 = ¥6,500
On a weekday, the same visit is usually 20–30% cheaper. At BorneLund, for example, the 1-Day Pass falls to ¥2,600, and Fantasy Kids Resort’s unlimited pack to ¥1,450.
Time-based or day pass: which is cheaper?
- Under about 90 minutes: time-based pricing usually wins.
- Two hours or more: a day pass or unlimited pack is usually cheaper, especially with siblings.
- Siblings: look for second-child discounts, such as BorneLund’s half-price additional 1-Day Pass.
- Re-entry: some day tickets allow you to leave for lunch and come back the same day; PLAY! PARK’s 3-hour tickets don’t.
How to book
- Walk-in is normal at most play centres, but busy weekends and school holidays can mean queues or entry limits.
- Register online in advance where the venue offers it (ASOBONO! and BorneLund both use online registration) to speed up check-in.
- Buy ahead where tickets are limited. PLAY! PARK sells tickets through Asoview from three weeks before your visit and recommends booking ahead on weekends, holidays and long breaks.
- Check supervision rules. PLAY! PARK allows up to three children per adult (aged 20 or over).
- Check holiday pricing. Many venues charge weekend prices every day during school holidays; PLAY! PARK does so from December 26, 2026 to January 3, 2027.
Ways to save
- Go on weekdays, or late in the day where there’s a cheaper evening rate (Fantasy Kids Resort’s Twilight Pack is ¥1,200 on weekdays from 3 p.m.).
- Look for multi-visit ticket packs on Asoview, which often sells play-centre tickets at a discount.
- Babies are usually free: under 1 at PLAY! PARK and Fantasy Kids Resort, 5 months and under at BorneLund, and 0-year-olds at Kids Land US (reported).
- For regular visits, use your ward’s free children’s halls (jidōkan) and parent-and-child spaces (kosodate hiroba).
