Court Details

About this court

Located on Higashichuo-Dori in Kitamoto, Saitama, Japan, 北本市体育センター (Kitamoto City Sports Center) is a public, pay-to-play destination for pickleball enthusiasts in the greater Tokyo metro area. The facility underwent a full refurbishment completed in April 2025, making it one of the newer multi-sport venues in Saitama prefecture. It is open every day from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, though it closes annually from December 28 through January 3 and observes one additional closure day per month, typically a Monday or Tuesday. The complex is extensive, comprising a main arena, sub-arena, judo hall, kendo hall, archery hall, training room, and meeting rooms. Spectator seating on the second floor accommodates tournaments, and players note that the arena has hosted children's and youth competitions. A fitness center on the second floor offers structured classes such as Zumba, aerobics, and table tennis lessons. Restrooms, locker rooms, and a small shop are also on-site. Since pickleball remains a developing sport in Japan, players highlight that bringing your own net and equipment is required. The center carries a 3.5 rating across 240 Google reviews. Visitors mention that the recently renovated interior is clean and modern, while some reviewers flag concerns about locker room ventilation and gymnasium temperature management during events. Reservations can be made at the front desk; online booking is not available for tournament scheduling. For families, the facility is noted as kid-friendly, and a nearby park adds an additional outing option after play.
