Wood Place Inc. (株式会社ウッドプレイス) was founded by Masao Suzuki (鈴木正夫), who left Nichibutsu in June 1982. It was incorporated in August 1984. The company went bankrupt on March 3, 1988. (Game Machine 1988/4/1, pg. 26)

It is unknown if Wood Place developed anything internally. Hisayoshi Ichikawa and other future KID staff are credited on The Deep, but it is not known if they worked for Wood Place. Ichikawa is also listed on Canadian copyright registrations for Fire Trap.

A Masao Suzuki is head of JNNEX, distributor of the Retro-Bit Generations system in Japan. It is not confirmed that this is the same person, but one version of the Retro-Bit Generations contains Wood Place games.
