They are the first outdoor-only courts in Japan to receive USA Pickleball certification, and they were renewed with asphalt courts in spring 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>Features of the Outdoor Court<\/h3>\n<p>Four dedicated outdoor courts inside the resort, letting you play in an open setting. They're also known as a partner facility of the Japan Pickleball Association.<\/p>\n<h2>Usage Guide<\/h2>\n<h3>Fees and Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>The usage fee starts at roughly 2,200 yen per court per hour, and hours are roughly 9:00 to sunset. Check the official information for reservation methods.<\/p>\n<h3>Access and Contact<\/h3>\n<p>It's located at 372 Osaki, Mikkabi-cho, Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka. For detailed directions and the latest reservation methods and fees, see the official information (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tokyu-hamanako-sports.com\/pickleball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official website<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>The Appeal of Outdoor Courts<\/h2>\n<h3>An Open Environment<\/h3>\n<p>Outdoor courts let you play freely in an open environment. At facilities with night lighting, use after sunset is also possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Weather and What to Bring<\/h3>\n<p>Because it is outdoors, having a hat, sunglasses, and a drink as measures against strong sunlight and wind makes it comfortable. Because availability may change in rainy weather, check in advance.<\/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 court 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 Shizuoka<\/h2>\n<p>In Shizuoka, some of Japan's finest outdoor-only courts have taken shape in the Hamanako area, letting you enjoy pickleball alongside sightseeing and a resort stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-area-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/coart\/shizuoka-pickleball-facilities\/\">\u25b6 See the list of facilities where you can play pickleball in Shizuoka<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ssp_meta_description":"\u6771\u6025\u30ea\u30be\u30fc\u30c8\u30bf\u30a6\u30f3\u6d5c\u540d\u6e56\uff08\u9759\u5ca1\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":[123,35,130],"region":[349],"venue_area":[2890],"venue_type":[255],"venue_surface":[],"venue_indoor":[262],"venue_facility":[265,266,264],"venue_booking":[],"venue_fee":[],"class_list":["post-1297","venue","type-venue","status-publish","hentry","category-coart","tag-year-2026","tag-coart","tag-facility","region-r-shizuoka","venue_area-shizuoka","venue_type-hotel-attached","venue_indoor-outdoor","venue_facility-shower","venue_facility-changing-room","venue_facility-parking"],"acf":{"address_text":"\u9759\u5ca1\u770c\u6d5c\u677e\u5e02\u6d5c\u540d\u533a\u4e09\u30f6\u65e5\u753a\u5927\u5d0e372","lat":34.7844603,"lng":137.5684568,"court_count":4,"photo_url":null,"place_id":"ChIJHWBxWSIpG2ARgeYezjg55kk","reservation_url":"","official_url":"https:\/\/www.tokyu-hamanako-sports.com\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue\/1297","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=1297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_area?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_type?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_surface","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_surface?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_indoor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_indoor?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_facility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_facility?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_booking","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_booking?post=1297"},{"taxonomy":"venue_fee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_fee?post=1297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
