Good find! Seems somewhat expensive.
Nice find! Can't seem to find any information about their field though - their website is still under construction (including Japanese version) and the only other stuff online was their twitter and facebook pages (which also don't have much info).
Agree with Q - seems very expensive.... 3,000 yen entrance fee and 9,500 yen per person for three and half hours??!!! For that price you think they'd at least have a better website.
Will let you know if I can find any additional information.
Looking at Google Map, it's gonna be another forest field.
3,000 yen for 3h30mn is expensive though...

Its not 3,000 yen for 3h30min... its 3,000 entrance fee, and 9,500 yen for 3h30min.
So total 12,500 yen for 3h30min! Crazy!!!
It looks like it is right in behind CIMAX.
It looks like the price includes weapon and gear rentals. If you look at the list of prices that all adds up to 9500. So maybe it is 3,000 yen of you have all the gear?
I was under the impressions that paintball was illegal in Japan?
I might drop by for a look next time I head out to CIMAX
Not sure about the price - the website doesn't distinguish.
On Paintball:
Paintball is legal in Japan. But the FPS limits are very low compared to the US.
Not to mention some of the laws outlaw some of the popular markers, and you need to paint your beautiful carbon fiber air tanks grey in order to pass off as legal.
There are a few fields in Japan, one in Kyoto, one in Shiga, one in Niseko (Hokkaido) and a few other tiny operations. There are also a few at the US military bases (which follow the US rules on marker limits etc).
That said, all of the active paintball fields in Japan (aside from this new one) are all speedball, not woodsball.
Ok, long response to a short question, but I've been doing my homework, ok?
WTF is this? those prices are way too expensive. What a joke!
They offer camping and bbq services at the field. I was just talking to ginganinga the other day about how cool it would be to do a full weekend. Play Saturday, bbq and beers Saturday night, camp out, game again Sunday, then head home reeking of campfire smoke, sweat, and pain! If the price turns out to be somewhat reasonable here, I think this would be cool. If not at this new field, then let's find another spot to do it. Anyone who wanted to could come to just Saturday or Sunday either staying the night or not.
Thunder, if it doesn't work there, there is always the place where we went last year, a bit close to mount Fuji, it was a really hilly place (which was pretty cool on a tactical point of view, although not from my leg's point of view), and there was a camp next to it. I think the owner/manager was a friend of Germanicus on this forum.
I guess Ginga is probably right - everything adds up to 9,500 yen, so I guess if you have your own gear, it's 3,000 yen for 3.5hrs - which is still a rip-off, if you ask me. Guess they are trying to cater to the English speaking foreigner type of market (advertising in Metropolis) and think they'd be able to pull of higher prices....
I've checked their website. It was so expensive.
I asked them about fee and time. I'll let you know after their reply.
I've got a reply from them. But it was not kindly.
I had asked about field rental fee for private game. But NO ANSWER.
They let me know about 3000yen if we bring a gun and equipment.
It was an answer that I could not understand whether 3000 yen is　for 3.5 hours or 1day.
Tesla and I found out more information yesterday by word of mouth (a few guys we met went to the field on opening day just to check it out, not to play):
- Small field with air bunkers similar to a paintball speedball field, although these bunkers were only waist or chest high (true paintball/speedball bunkers vary in height, but most are full height, so you can stand)
- The guys were saying that the field looks like it would not be fun at all for survival game
- They also found out there is some type of VIP membership with three levels of status - the highest level is if you pay JPY 750,000 (not a typo), you get a year of membership where you can play anytime for free and use the facilities for BBQ etc.
- The field seems to have been run by three foreigners
