Tokyo Tower to Welcome Its First Permanent Pickleball Court

In a landmark development for Minato City, a permanent pickleball court will be established at the Tokyo Tower, marking a significant expansion in the availability of this trending sport. Tipness Inc., a leading fitness club operator with branches across the Kanto, Kansai, and Tokai regions, will manage this innovative facility.

To this end, the company is dedicated to providing diverse experiences and promoting health initiatives, including corporate wellness programs, community health events, and athlete development support.

The Tokyo Tower Pickleball Court will provide a unique opportunity for locals and visitors alike to enjoy this new sport in one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks.

This event included a demonstration where attendees could appreciate both the fun and competitive spirit of pickleball.
