Pickleball in Chiba

Chiba might be Kanto's most interesting pickleball prefecture: a dedicated indoor club in Ichikawa, a Picklr inside AEON Mall Makuhari, a 16-court resort out in Yachimata, and court time from ¥600 an hour. Here are all 13 venues.

How pickleball works in Chiba.

The Tokyo-side commuter belt has the clubs, the bay side has the malls, and the countryside has a surprise. Four things to know.

The commuter belt leads

Matsudo, Ichikawa, and Funabashi hold most of the venues, including The Pickle Bang Theory, a dedicated indoor club in Ichikawa open 6am to 11pm daily.

Makuhari has a Picklr

The US club chain Picklr runs indoor courts inside AEON Mall Makuhari in Chiba City, with daily hours and court rental around ¥4,000 an hour.

A 16-court resort, really

Adventures Island at Kotani Ryusawa Lodge in Yachimata has sixteen outdoor courts, the biggest court count anywhere in our data, about forty minutes by car from Narita Airport.

Prices start absurdly low

Tonoyama Tennis Garden in Chiba City rents from around ¥600 an hour, tennis gardens like Bellwood and Matsudo Tennis Club sit near ¥2,000, and the dedicated indoor clubs top out near ¥5,000.
