The plan calls for seven courts in total \u2014 three indoor and four outdoor \u2014 plus a gym space, with operating partner Pickleball One. Note that as this facility is pre-opening, check future official announcements for the opening date and court details.<\/p>\n<h3>Features of the Indoor Court<\/h3>\n<p>It's planned as an all-weather facility with seven courts in total, indoors and outdoors combined. The indoor courts aren't affected by the weather, while the outdoor courts offer an open setting to play in.<\/p>\n<h2>Usage Guide<\/h2>\n<h3>Fees and Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>Check future official announcements for the opening date, fees, and reservation methods. Since it's pre-opening, checking the operator's announcements is the surest way to get the latest information.<\/p>\n<h3>Access and Contact<\/h3>\n<p>It's located at 4-27-10 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo. For detailed directions and the latest reservation methods and fees, see the official information (<a href=\"https:\/\/jp.corp-sansan.com\/news\/2026\/0128.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official website<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>Play Comfortably on Indoor Courts<\/h2>\n<h3>Go Without Worrying About the Weather<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Use Reservations and Rentals<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Improving and Enjoying<\/h2>\n<h3>Be Aware of the Kitchen<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep Going with Fellow Players<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Enjoy Pickleball in Tokyo<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-area-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/infomation\/tokyo-pickleball-courts\/\">\u25b6 See the list of facilities where you can play pickleball in Tokyo<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ssp_meta_description":"Sansan\u6c60\u888b\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u65bd\u8a2d\uff082026\u5e747\u6708\u958b\u696d\u4e88\u5b9a\uff09\u306e\u30b3\u30fc\u30c8\u60c5\u5831\u30fb\u8a2d\u5099\u30fb\u30a2\u30af\u30bb\u30b9\u3092\u7d39\u4ecb\u3002\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u65bd\u8a2d\u30ac\u30a4\u30c9\u3002","swell_btn_cv_data":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[123,130,47],"region":[340],"venue_area":[235],"venue_type":[250],"venue_surface":[],"venue_indoor":[261,262],"venue_facility":[],"venue_booking":[],"venue_fee":[],"class_list":["post-1292","venue","type-venue","status-publish","hentry","category-coart","tag-year-2026","tag-facility","tag-tokyo","region-r-tokyo","venue_area-tokyo","venue_type-permanent-court","venue_indoor-indoor","venue_indoor-outdoor"],"acf":{"address_text":"\u6771\u4eac\u90fd\u8c4a\u5cf6\u533a\u6771\u6c60\u888b4-27-10","lat":35.728042,"lng":139.7191025,"court_count":7,"photo_url":null,"place_id":"ChIJqxPQTACNGGAR0UxXx_0Amac","reservation_url":"","official_url":"https:\/\/jp.corp-sansan.com\/news\/2026\/0128.html"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue\/1292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/venue"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_area?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_type?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_surface","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_surface?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_indoor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_indoor?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_facility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_facility?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_booking","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_booking?post=1292"},{"taxonomy":"venue_fee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_fee?post=1292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
