Explore a dedicated excavation area filled with rubber chips, where you can dig for various natural stones — and you might even discover rare “power stones” imbued with special meaning.

We kindly ask that you wear socks while using the facility. Playing barefoot may cause the rubber chips to stick to your feet, making it difficult to enjoy the activity. It can also be troublesome to remove the chips when leaving. Please wear socks and have fun!🧦
