Local Tournaments to Play in:
Continuing Series of Tournaments (min. once/month)

These locations have recurring tournaments, once/twice sometimes three times a month.   If the date shown is already past, call the phone under "details at" to find out upcoming dates.  I've listed only tournaments on weekends or holidays; there are more that take place on weekdays (evenings in particular).  For tournaments that are once-only, seasonal or annual (i.e. less than once/month), see the listing on a separate page.

Call the phone number given to get address/map, application method, tournament method, etc. Use Japanese when calling!
 
You can find current listings, with addresses etc, in the monthly Japanese tennis magazines.  The listings are towards the back of the magazine, and called "kusa-toh" ('grassroots tournaments'?).  Naturally you'll need to have someone who can read Japanese!
