ABOUT
TT TOKYO CONNECT
Built by a table tennis player, for traveling players.
TT TOKYO CONNECT helps international players discover a more local side of table tennis in Tokyo and Kanagawa — from finding places to play to connecting with local players and communities.
WHY TT TOKYO CONNECT EXISTS
TT TOKYO CONNECT was born from a simple experience: wanting to keep playing table tennis while traveling abroad, whether for business or leisure, but finding it surprisingly difficult to find places to play seriously or connect with local players. There were plenty of general travel guides, but very little information for players who simply wanted to pick up a racket and experience the local table tennis scene. That experience became the idea behind TT TOKYO CONNECT. Founded by a competitive table tennis player based in Japan, TT TOKYO CONNECT was created to make it easier for international players visiting Japan to find places to play, connect with local players, and experience table tennis beyond the typical tourist route.
