Tips for playing in Japan as a visitor

  • Booking pages may be in Japanese only. Your browser's built-in translation usually makes them usable. We link straight to each venue's official page.
  • Check whether visitors can book. Some venues are membership-based; where we confirmed that visitors are welcome, it's noted in the "Booking" field.
  • Bring court shoes. Clean indoor/court shoes are expected at indoor venues; all-court tennis shoes work well.
  • No paddle? Rent one. See venues with paddle rental.
  • Many listings are events. Pop-ups and tournaments run on fixed dates — check the dates in the notes.
