Hiroshima has paid indoor play areas for children in Hiroshima City, Higashihiroshima, Hatsukaichi and Fukuyama. They differ in age limits, membership rules and how you pay, and most have only Japanese pages. This guide compares eight of them with parking, nearest stations, prices and what to expect at the entrance.
In short
- Little Planet is the only one of the eight with an official English page; it says the park’s written signs are only in Japanese, but many attractions work without Japanese. We found no English version of the other seven sites we read.
- Four places need a membership: Little Planet (¥600 per family for the first year), Pure Kids (¥330 a year), Yuber Kidsland (¥350 a year, with ID) and Kids Banet (sign up in the Capcom Amusement app). Kodomocchi needs an app account.
- A weekday child’s all-day plan is ¥1,000 at The Kids Takaya, ¥1,030 at Yuber Kidsland, ¥1,200 at The Kids Hiroshima Mitsukoshi and Pure Kids, and ¥1,800 at Little Planet and Kids Banet. Adults pay too at most places.
- Chu-Pea Athletic SOLAE is open mainly on Sundays and holidays, and Yuber Kidsland is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Checked with official pages on October 5, 2026.

Common questions

At Little Planet, Pure Kids, Yuber Kidsland and Kids Banet, yes. Kodomocchi needs an app account. The Kids and SOLAE do not list a membership on the pages we read.
Can adults go in without children?
No at the places that say so: Little Planet does not admit adults alone, Pure Kids does not allow adults alone, and Yuber Kidsland and Kodomocchi do not allow children or adults alone.
Can I bring food?
Little Planet’s English guide says only drinks may be brought in. Pure Kids allows food and drink in its picnic cafe space. For the others, we did not find a rule on the pages we read.
