Picklemate

Adults can still make friends with strangers.

Picklemate helps you find a game and people to play it with. It started in Japan. Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore are next.

Coming to Japan? Bring a paddle.

Picklemate lists courts and open sessions across Japan, from city gyms to indoor clubs. The guides below are in English.

Most sessions in Japan are run in Japanese, and some are for members. Check each listing before you go.

Next: three cities

Nothing runs here yet. Each city starts the same way, with one organizer and one regular session at a court that already exists.

Looking for the first organizer

You already run a game, or you wish someone would. We would like to hear from you.

  • You play regularly, or you run a group that welcomes new people
  • You know a court with free hours
  • You care more about who comes back than who wins

A good place to play is one where people notice you were gone, and are glad when you come back.
