Hey y’all,

Looking to head out to Tokyo in April/May for a brief visit and wondered if there was any advice on where to play/buy cues, accessories etc.

Not sure if this is the best place for the thread - apologies to mods in advance!
 
I’m going there in March and usually play a lot. Send me a note and I’ll give you the info when I get it. Please tell me where you will be and if you know any Japanese.
Happy New Year’s!
 
I went about a decade ago and met up with a couple AZBros.

Grateful they babysat me coz I might still be wandering around.

Good luck and enjoy.

Not sure just yet but will shoot you a note closer to the time. Sadly I don’t know any Japanese. 😅

Absolutely LOVED our time in Japan (Tokyo, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, Kyoto). I sure hope you don't spend too much time in a pool room. So much to see and experience.

I’ll try not to. Won’t be around for too long - have a musician friend doing some performances so tagging along for that primarily!

Japan is a phenomenal country and Tokyo is a great city. I hope you get to see as much of it as your time allows.

I'll be in Tokyo between March 30 - April 7 if you are going to be there around that time @carl.j @mfinkelstein3
 
Just got back from a trip in December. As far as proshops, Cue-shopJP stocks the inventory at Billiard Rosa in Ikebukuro. I ordered a few supplies from them, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to do this if you don't read/write Japanese. I placed my request with them and they made sure the order was at Ikebukuro when I was going to be in Japan. I've also gone to proshop-usa which is in Shibuya. Bagus in Shibuya also has a small supply section and I'm assuming all of there other locations do as well.

As far as playing, Bagus is pretty convenient and easy to find. Rosa in Ikebukuro is also easy to find. There are several smaller, more serious rooms but I'm not sure how easy it would be to find them or to get a table without knowing someone that plays there.
 
I'm not in Tokyo but if someone makes it all the way up to Niigata City then we can play a set or two at my place 😁
