Family Land

Yu Kids Island/Family Land Great humid or rainy weather option for the kiddos to let off some energy!!!

It is in a black building with a sphinx outside. Odd, but a good landmark.
Distance from Foster/Kadena - 30 / 15 mins.

What is it?
A 3-story family fun building
1st floor: check-in area, food, billiards (pool tables)
2nd floor: like Mona-Kids jungle - an indoor, air-conditioned (though not ice cold by any means) padded play area with a ball pit, tunnels, play structures for the little ones with an arcade (video games, ping-pong, foosball, air hockey, all FREE). They have vending machines and sitting area.
3rd floor: outdoor covered play area (though still hot in summer obviously), and batting cages

What does it cost?
A bit complex! Check-in at the desk on level above parking - no guarantees on English being spoken. Initial (one-time only) membership fee of 315yen (they'll have you sign a membership card). Then a fee per time limit, with several payment options depending on how long you plan on staying: 105yen per 15 minutes, 1000yen for unlimited Mon-Fri (11-8), 1500 yen unlimited Mon-Fri (5pm-closing). Weekends - 1000yen for 3 hours.

What ages do they charge?
Not sure. We did not get charged for a 3 or a 4 year old, only for the adults.

Downsides?
No guarantees on music playing over their sound system (may be more adult in nature). Not much English spoken.

Hours?
11AM-2AM (weekdays); 10AM-2AM (weekends) .

Phone #?
098-939-5777

Directions?
EASY!!! From Kadena Gate 2:
Straight out gate 2 onto Route 20.
Turn LEFT onto 330 (at Koza Music Town)
Turn RIGHT onto 329
1/2 block later is the building - black with the sphinx as depicted to the left
Parking - it is IN the buiding...2 lanes going into the building parking, stay to the right and park on main level.
