Play Comfortably on Indoor Courts

Go Without Worrying About the Weather

Because it is indoor-only, you can play in a stable environment year-round, unaffected by rain, extreme heat, or cold. Being easy to visit to fit your daily rhythm, such as after work or early morning, is also an advantage of indoor facilities.

How to Use Reservations and Rentals

Many indoor-only courts are reservation-based hourly rentals. If there are paddle and ball rentals, you can start empty-handed, so for your first visit, check whether equipment loans are available for peace of mind.

Tips for Improving and Enjoying

Be Aware of the Kitchen

The dink (a soft, dropping shot) in the non-volley zone (kitchen) near the net is the key to tactics. Being mindful of control rather than power shots makes it easier to seize the initiative in a rally.

Keep Going with Fellow Players

Going to the same facility regularly deepens coordination with opponents and partners and speeds up improvement. Because it is a doubles-centered sport, making friends is also part of the fun.

Enjoy Pickleball in Tokyo

Within Tokyo, a full-scale complex pickleball facility is also planned for the Ikebukuro area, and bases with both indoor and outdoor courts are on the rise.
