Introduction

A brand new indoor activity venue, the 'Maebashi Play Space', is set to open in Chiyodacho, Maebashi City on March 28, 2026. This exciting facility will primarily feature HADO, an augmented reality (AR) activity that allows participants of all ages to engage in dynamic physical activities. Managed by HADO player Mr. Kawaguchi, this space aims to provide affordable options for families, friends, sports enthusiasts, and corporate events.

Why Visit 'Maebashi Play Space'?

1. Enjoy Anytime, Rain or Shine

Thanks to its indoor setup, the Maebashi Play Space guarantees a comfortable environment for all players regardless of the weather. It’s perfect for a spontaneous visit, and participants can freshen up in the changing rooms.

2. Unique Sports Experience for All Ages

One of the standout features of HADO is its accessibility. With minimal physical limitations, players of different ages and sizes can compete fairly. Whether you're playing with colleagues, friends, or family, the fun lies in cooperation and strategy, making it ideal for outings, after-school activities, or team-building events.

3. Control Your Energy Balls

Imagine energetically throwing energy balls by simply moving your arm! At HADO, players arm themselves with sensors that track their movements, allowing them to unleash energy balls of varying sizes and speeds. This adaptability ensures that every participant can play to their strengths, whether they are kids or adults, and enjoy the thrill of the game without solely relying on physical capabilities. HADO seamlessly merges physical activity with digital gaming, creating an engaging experience.

4. Affordable Rental Plans

Another attractive aspect is the rental pricing model, where all participants pay the same hourly fee regardless of the number of players. The rates are:

• - Weekdays: ¥3,600/hour
• - Weekends and Holidays: ¥5,400/hour

Reservations will be available through the official social media channels.

Commentary from the Manager

Mr. Kawaguchi expresses his excitement: “After HADO Arena closed down in Maebashi last year, I wanted to bring HADO back to our community. I remember the thrill I felt when I first played. It was a unique experience that I believe more people should try.” Inspired by the joy of playing HADO, he was determined to establish a venue where locals could access this fun activity often ranked among the most unique sports.
