    Thank you for coming to our club

    mono666

    thank you for coming to our club, though your stay is very limited. We had enjoyed very much in playing with you. Many guys were not good at speaking English, but they can play badminton with you without any language. We are sorry for your departure from Japan, but hope next chance to play badminton again. Keep taining and get stronger, but don't be injured.

    I really enjoyed the time in your club, everyone is so friendly and kind. I just wish I could stay longer to play with you guys. I'll keep training and the next time I will be a stronger player and you guys will speak English better. perhaps I should learn Japanese! And I hope your competition had a good outcome! Thanks for everything! hope to see you guys soon!

    Hello friends, I used to play with my colleagues at Tamachi but since most playing partners have left, weekends have been really boring since then :(
    I'm a decent level player and hoping to join a group that plays badminton during weekends.

    Hi, All

    sorry not to reply soon.
    I had been too busy for my new job since this April. Now , I am OK.

    We have a session this coming Sunday between 1:00-4:00pm in Kawasaki.
    The nearest staion is Kawasaki station on JR line. It takes 10minutes by bus from Kawasaki station.

    If you are interested in, let me know through my mail as following.
    And then I tell you how to get the gym from your place because the best way to the gym depends on your place. I mean there are some ways to get there.

    okappa1204@yahoo.co.jp

    Any level is OK. But bring your racket and shoes.
    There are some non-Japanese . I met them through this forum.

    see you soon
    Miyuki

    Shinjuku sports center

    hello all...
    I found shinjuku sports center with the help of Miyuki San a several months ago. I went for a while, but because of work I haven't gone for a while. But I went to today to get a schedule. I want to start going again on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Saturday nights...
    It's not so fun to have nobody to play with, would anyone here like to play?

    Hi Ethan,

    Sorry. I am not available for morning play. For Saturday, I actually attend a big badminton club in Setagaya. The session is from 5pm to 9pm. The nearest station is Kumazawa Daigaku of Den-en-Toshi line. If you are interested, I plan to go there this Saturday and we can meet at the station. PM me if you want.

    Cheers,
    Titus

    Hi all.

    I'm Francois, I'm 25, and brand new in Japan. I live in Shibuya and I will stay for at least 15 months.

    I would like to play the badminton somewhere close to my appartment. I played badminton for many years. I have not played for a couple of months and I really want to get back to it.

    Important thing: I do not speak Japanese (I am learning but I am still a beginner)... I guess this won't help.

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    BR,
    Francois

    Hi Miyuki,

    I have recently arrived in Japan from England. I currently live in Fukuyama. Could you help me with finding badminton clubs around the area. I have asked around, but so far no luck.

    Thank you.

    Hi, Paul

    Fukuyama is in Hiroshima? Or other prefecture?
    If possible, tell me your the nearest station and prefecture.
    And let me know
    - When you can play
    - How do you get there
    - how long you are playing
    - if possible, your badminton level

    Talk to you later
    Miyuki
