They are more likely to be complementary than competitive. The facilities can function as a place to solve existing circles' struggle to secure their own venue, and are expected to be used as a home base for circle activities.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Articles<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/venue\/pickleball-base-osaka\/\">PB Base Osaka<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/venue\/the-picklr-tokyo\/\">The Picklr Tokyo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/tournament\/ppa-tokyo-open-2026\/\">PPA Tokyo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Reference Links<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickleball-japan.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PJF \u2013 \u65bd\u8a2d\u60c5\u5831<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u4e16\u754c\u6700\u5927\u306e\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u30d5\u30e9\u30f3\u30c1\u30e3\u30a4\u30ba\u300cThe Picklr\uff08\u30b6\u30fb\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30fc\uff09\u300d\u304c2026\u5e744\u6708\u3001\u65e5\u672c\u5e02\u5834\u3078\u306e [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ssp_meta_description":"The Picklr\u304c\u65e5\u672c\u306720\u65bd\u8a2d\u5c55\u958b\u3092\u767a\u8868\u2014\u2014\u6771\u4eac\u30fb\u5927\u962a\u30fb\u4eac\u90fd\u30fb\u798f\u5ca1\u306b\u4e16\u754c\u6700\u5927\u30d5\u30e9\u30f3\u30c1\u30e3\u30a4\u30ba\u304c\u9032\u51fa\u3002\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u6700\u65b0\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b9\u901f\u5831\u3002","swell_btn_cv_data":"","pt_pr_sponsor":""},"categories":[34,10],"tags":[124,123,57,89,5,6,44,45,130,37,47],"region":[340],"class_list":["post-1008","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","category-coart","category-paddle-info","tag-year-2025","tag-year-2026","tag-us","tag-wear-2","tag-paddle","tag-ball","tag-kyoto","tag-osaka","tag-facility","tag-japan","tag-tokyo","region-r-tokyo"],"acf":{"summary":"\u4e16\u754c\u6700\u5927\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u30d5\u30e9\u30f3\u30c1\u30e3\u30a4\u30baThe Picklr\u304c\u65e5\u672c\u5e02\u5834\u53c2\u5165\u3092\u767a\u8868\u3002\u65e5\u672c\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u30db\u30fc\u30eb\u30c7\u30a3\u30f3\u30b0\u30b9\u3068\u30de\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30d5\u30e9\u30f3\u30c1\u30e3\u30a4\u30ba\u5951\u7d04\u3092\u7de0\u7d50\u3057\u30015\u5e74\u9593\u306720\u65bd\u8a2d\u5c55\u958b\u3092\u8a08\u753b\u3002\u7b2c1\u53f7\u5e97\u306f\u6771\u4eac\u570f\u3001\u305d\u306e\u5f8c\u5927\u962a\u30fb\u4eac\u90fd\u30fb\u798f\u5ca1\u306b\u9032\u51fa\u3059\u308b\u3002"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1008"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=1008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
