They are permanent dedicated courts for the public that opened in July 2025, with two courts.<\/p>\n<h3>Features of the Outdoor Court<\/h3>\n<p>Outdoor courts with great views, at the foot of Tokyo Tower on the FootTown rooftop. You reserve by the court, and paddle and ball rentals are available.<\/p>\n<h2>Usage Guide<\/h2>\n<h3>Fees and Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>Use is by hourly rental with reservations, and hours are roughly 10:00 to 21:00. Check the official site for fees and reservation methods.<\/p>\n<h3>Access and Contact<\/h3>\n<p>It's located at 4-2-8 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo \u2014 rooftop of Tokyo Tower FootTown. For detailed directions and the latest reservation methods and fees, see the official information (<a href=\"https:\/\/tokyotower-pickleball.jp\/\" 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 Tokyo<\/h2>\n<p>Within Tokyo, permanent dedicated courts have taken shape in Minato-ku too, making it possible to enjoy pickleball at the tourist landmark of Tokyo Tower.<\/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":"\u6771\u4eac\u30bf\u30ef\u30fc\u5c4b\u4e0a\u306e\u6e2f\u533a\u521d\u306e\u5e38\u8a2d\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u30eb\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u5c02\u7528\u30b3\u30fc\u30c8\u3002\u5c4b\u59162\u9762\u3001Tipness\u904b\u55b6\u3001\u7121\u6599\u30ec\u30f3\u30bf\u30eb\u5b8c\u5099\u3002","swell_btn_cv_data":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"region":[340,1199],"venue_area":[235],"venue_type":[],"venue_surface":[],"venue_indoor":[262],"venue_facility":[],"venue_booking":[],"venue_fee":[],"class_list":["post-1736","venue","type-venue","status-publish","hentry","region-r-tokyo","region-tokyo-minatoku","venue_area-tokyo","venue_indoor-outdoor"],"acf":{"address_text":"\u6771\u4eac\u90fd\u6e2f\u533a\u829d\u516c\u57124-2-8 \u6771\u4eac\u30bf\u30ef\u30fc\u30d5\u30c3\u30c8\u30bf\u30a6\u30f3\u5c4b\u4e0a","lat":"","lng":"","court_count":2,"photo_url":null,"place_id":"","reservation_url":"","official_url":"https:\/\/tokyotower-pickleball.jp\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue\/1736","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=1736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_area?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_type?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_surface","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_surface?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_indoor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_indoor?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_facility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_facility?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_booking","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_booking?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"venue_fee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_fee?post=1736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
